- 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.
Thankfully only DDos. Truth Social is Mastodon so a security flaw could have been a real problem.
nah it’s a lazy fork so seeing how he chooses people (they’re either cheap or friends of friends or both) “truth” can easily have a totally new security issue
maybe the server has a root password that’s “trump454748$$$”
This is the saddest good news I’ve ever read.
Is It Mastodon?! For real? Does it have ActivityPub enabled and all of that?
It is a modified version of Mastodon, with a Soapbox front end. It does not have ActivityPub enabled and lacks a bunch of features.

Lol they actually complied with the license in the end, i didnt know that.
I wonder how much of it is vibe coded at this point…
Never saw security flaw now as a real problem. You just have to live with the fact that there is one. And you will suffer when it’s used. Security flaw later is a real problem.
