Pro-Trump Social Media App Gettr Gets Hacked on Day of Launch

A few days ago, Gettr - a Pro-Trump social media app launched recently by Jason Miller, a senior adviser to former US President Donald Trump, got hacked as over 500k people registered on the site in a day.

Gettr is a similar social media app like Twitter, it contains the latest posts and trending topics, it advertised itself as "a non-bias social network for people all over the world.", it can be seen on Google Playstore and Apple Appstore.

"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.

When asked about the security issue faced on the app, Miller clarified the situation by saying it has been "rectified".

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon on Sunday expressed himself in a post on the new site by saying the Gettr app is "the Twitter killer"

There is still no information regarding if Trump will be joining the new website. Miller told Fox News earlier this week that he hoped Trump would join.
