According to news media reports, these accounts were hacked for the first time around 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, and most accounts were restored to their original state before 10:00 a.m.
In response to the hacker attack, Gettr CEO Miller stated that the problem was quickly resolved, noting that more than 500,000 users have registered on the new platform.
Miller said in a statement: “When they came to you, you knew you were shaking. The problem was discovered and resolved within a few minutes. All the intruder could accomplish was to change some usernames.”
