Iranian-Aligned Hackers Claim Responsibility for Attack on Trump's Truth Social Platform [View all]
With the world waiting to see how Iran will respond to Saturday night’s U.S. military strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, a group of Iranian-aligned hackers is claiming to have attacked something President Donald Trump holds dear — his Truth Social platform.
Multiple Social media watchdogs confirmed that an Iranian-aligned hacktivist group called “313 Team” claimed responsibility for a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack on Trump’s Truth Social platform just hours after the U.S. strikes. Truth Social went down shortly after 8 p.m. ET on Saturday — moments after Trump announced the strikes on his account.
Users attempting to access the platform during the outage were confronted with messages reading, “Network failed …Please try again.”
The 313 Team claiming responsibility is a component of a larger network of hacktivists aligned with pro-Russian, and pro-Palestinian outfits. Their aim is to disrupt public infrastructure, government websites, and technology companies in Israel and beyond.
ABC News, in a report on the potential threats, said the non-profit think tank the Center for Internet Security (CIS) briefed federal law enforcement on Friday about the possibility of an attack.
“The likelihood of such attacks will increase if the U.S. strikes Iran or overtly provides military support to the Israeli air campaign,” the CIS said.
