Might be smart for Iran to just attack trump’s businesses as retribution for the bombings; if they attack the military, we’ll surely get pulled into another war, but just going after trump’s businesses will probably avoid a military response and maybe will make republicans come around to the fact that he should have divested himself from his businesses when he became president.

More likely, it makes the poor baby (-hands) cry and throw a tantrum. Being the malignant narcissist he is, he thinks the resources of the United States government are entirely at his disposal. With that in mind, he's absolutely going to demand a military response to any attacks on his businesses.
Whether saner heads prevail, all we can do is hope.

Would this count as a retaliation, which Trump warned them against?
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'll bet Donakd Trump is very upset!
It seems like they just did us all a favor.
May just be the only thing that saves this country. Fewer people on social media is good for society at this point.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
We have a president who issues fascistic edicts from the toilet and then phrases them like a Karen in her first term on her HOA or Condo board.
Unclear from the article but, while a bit pedantic, this sounds more like it was potentially a DDoS attack rather than a proper "hack".
In order to launch a meaningful DDoS there must be thousands of compromised machines to use. I would absolutely say compromising such a large amount of machines is hacking.
Or they just found a buffer overflow bug on their border router/firewall. I can't imagine Truth Social has a keen network engineering team keeping up to patching and vulnerabilities.

It's absolutely hacking those computer, just not the site. I just don't want to get overly excited for something that doesn't have much meat to it.
A lot of DDOS attacks nowadays are from a DDOS for hire service.
So there could be hacking done, or just a bitcoin transfer.

In an age where "willfully giving out your account password" is called hacking, here I'd call it tomato or tomato.
here I'd call it tomato or tomato.
It’s pronounced tomato
Social Engineering is hacking cmv.
There's usually an element of that with cracking passwords. Even if you just try and pick a good wordlist for a target you're already engaging in a way. The more you know about them the shorter the wordlist. And if you spend enough time getting to know shit about them you can reduce the wordlist to one entry because they told you the password. In a way. It's not necessarily a completely different process is my point.
No, because I agree.
