A social media platform launched by Jason Miller, former President Trump senior adviser, was hacked within hours of its release on Sunday.
GETTR is a Twitter-style app that advertises itself as a non-bias social network for people all over the world. Miller told Reuters that more than 500,000 people joined the platform.
The accounts of the platforms most popular users, mostly former Trump aides, were briefly hacked on the morning of its launch on July 4. Some of the accounts that were hacked include those belonging to Miller, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
The problem was detected and sealed in a matter of minutes, and all the intruder was able to accomplish was to change a few user names, Miller said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
