Gettr, a new social media site launched by allies of former President Trump, was briefly hacked on Sunday when it first went online.
“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,” Jason Miller, the site’s founder and Trump’s former spokesperson, said in a statement to Reuters.
The usernames for accounts belonging to prominent figures like former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Miller were changed to read, “JubaBaghdad was here, follow me in twitter :),” as seen in screenshots shared by Salon writer Zachary Petrizzo.
