An Iranian-aligned hacking group, known as “313 Team,” has claimed responsibility for a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack on former President Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform. This attack occurred shortly after the U.S. military conducted strikes on Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday night.
According to reports from the Center for Internet Security (CIS) and various social media watchdogs, Truth Social experienced an outage starting around 8 p.m. ET, immediately following Trump’s announcement of the U.S. strikes on his account. Users attempting to access the platform were met with error messages indicating network failure.
The 313 Team, identified as part of a larger network of hacktivists with pro-Russian and pro-Palestinian affiliations, has a history of targeting public infrastructure, government websites, and technology companies, particularly those in Israel.
This claim of responsibility coincides with warnings from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding potential cyber attacks from Iranian-affiliated actors. A recent DHS bulletin stated that these actors are likely to prioritize retaliatory attacks against Israeli targets in the immediate future but may also target U.S. networks in response to perceived U.S. support for Israeli actions.
ABC News reported that the CIS had briefed federal law enforcement on the potential for such attacks, emphasizing that the likelihood would increase if the U.S. were to strike Iran or provide overt military support to Israeli air campaigns.
The situation remains fluid, with ongoing concerns about further cyber activity in the wake of heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
