A new social media platform launched on Sunday was hacked the same day, founder and former Trump spokesman Jason Miller confirmed.
A cyber intruder was able to break into at least four GETTR accounts apparently belonging to close Trump allies, including Miller, and changed their names.
"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 a statement to Reuters.
