Newly launched social site GETTR suffered a data breach after a hacker claimed to use an unsecured API to scrape the private information of almost 90,000 members and then shared the data on a hacking forum.
GETTR is a new pro-Trump social media platform created by former Trump advisor Jason Miller as an alternative to Twitter.
As first seen by Alon Gal, co-founder and CTO of cybersecurity firm Hudson Rock, a group of hackers found an unsecured application programming interface (API) that allowed them to scrape the data for 87,973 GETTR members.
After compiling the information, the data was published to a well-known hacking forum commonly used to share databases stolen during data breaches...
What should GETTR users do? More and Images at site...
Trump and Gen. Flynn are using GETTR. I think there’s a limited value to knowing my birth year and location.
Especially since, as I confirmed by double-checking, I did not give them any of the above. Just a throwaway username and password. Who isn’t smart enough to know this?
Theyโre not tied to Google anymore. Per Jason Miller on War room.
I wouldn’t touch anything touched by Jason Miler.
My NoScript appears to confirm this. I am only getting just the javascript from the domain and no 3rd party API connections. The Google is gone from when I checked it the other day.
And it looks like Trump agrees.
Gab is overwhelmed with anti-semites and racists. Too many to block.
Thanks for checking that. :)
Why would Trump associate, Jason Miller, want to honey trap Trump supporters?
If he is such a loyal Trump supporter, why is he hosting a handful of degenerate Trump mocking profiles with offensive comments? And why, if he had half a brain, was he using AWS, Google, and all—including their privacy and terms? Really stupid. No wonder Trump quickly said he had nothing to do with the site, was not on it, and had no plan to join. It is DOA like the others. Again, as others have observed, Get Trump Republicans. And, yes, in my opinion, a honey trap for Trump supporters.
Well, we’ll see if Trump calls out Jason, now, for setting a honey trap, for Trump/MAGA supporters.
A dirty trick (by Miller), if true.
True. But that’s what an open platform will get. I think many are actually leftists making the platform look bad on purpose.
But you can create a filter to block words they use so you don’t have to see them
And thank you for the alert. The fact that they actually made the effort to remove Google is a +1 on the trust scale. :)
These people will do anything for enough money. There are no loyalties or moral standards.
I don’t know if it got fixed but Gab was like a anti-semite spam site. Every article was inundated with Jew this and Zionist that.
The only info they have on me is a 1 day old new proton email account.
If it wants anymore than just User, Password, and email to complete the registration I don’t do it. No one needs anymore than that.
And they did remove the Google API, but... I just pulled the requests and they are using Cloudflare server APIs.

Which APIs would you recommend they use, do you trust?
