Hours after the US airstrike on Iranian territory, Iranian-backed hackers took down US President Donald Trump’s social media platform.

Users were struggling to access Truth Social in the early morning following the alleged hack.

As the US continues to insert itself into the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, the US government believes more cyberattacks could happen.

Small fries given the proved concept behind the colonial pipeline hack

A little part of me makes me happy that Truth Social isn't even recognizable by name. It's "US President Donald Trump’s social media platform"

I'm happy that the news over here has to continually specify "the messaging service X". Though I wish they would avoid potential confusion and also say "formerly known as Twitter".

I bet it's the US.
They're already starting the 💀Iranian sleeper cell terrorists!!!!😱 scaremongering in the press.
These kinds of reports in the media are the first step in a known pattern of priming and nudging to rally up the public for another war.
