Hackers aligned with Iran have claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on President Trump\u2019s Truth Social platform, according to the cyber nonprofit Center for Internet Security (CIS).<\/p>\n

The Iran-aligned hacking group 313 Team took credit for a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on Truth Social within hours of U.S. strikes on several Iranian nuclear facilities Saturday, a CIS spokesperson confirmed.<\/p>\n

Truth Social reportedly saw a surge in reports of problems Saturday night, shortly after Trump posted on the site about the \u201cvery successful attack\u201d on the nuclear sites Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan, Wired reported. <\/p>\n

The hack comes as cyberattacks have ramped up amid increasing tensions between Iran, Israel and the U.S.; Iran and Israel have volleyed attacks back and forth in recent weeks following Israel’s surprise attack on Tehran\u2019s nuclear facilities. <\/p>\n

An Israeli-linked hacking group took responsibility for cyberattacks against Iran\u2019s largest crypto exchange last week, transferring more than $90 million out of Nobitex wallets, according to the blockchain analytics firm Elliptic. <\/p>\n

However, the hackers likely did not have the private keys to access the addresses where the stolen funds were sent, meaning they were effectively destroyed. <\/p>\n

The Nobitex hack came one day after the group, known as Gonjeshke Darande or Predatory Sparrow, also claimed responsibility for the hack of a state-owned Iranian bank.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
