  • 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.

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.
