Hackers were able to scrape the email addresses and other data of more than 90,000 GETTR users.

On Tuesday, a user of a notorious hacking forum posted a database that they claimed was a scrape of all users of GETTR, the new social media platform launched last week by Trump’s former spokesman Jason Miller, who pitched it as an alternative to "cancel culture." The data seen by Motherboard includes email addresses, usernames, status, and location.

One of the people whose email is in the database confirmed to Motherboard that they are indeed registered to GETTR. Motherboard also verified the database by attempting to create an account with three email addresses that appear in the database. When doing that, the site displayed the message: "The email is taken," suggesting it's already registered.

It's unclear if the database contains the usernames and email addresses of all users on the site.

1. A quick test...

They could see if:

"John Barron" (or "John Baron" ), "John Miller" and "David Dennison" are taken.

and who even now are blaming Biden for the security breaches and ransomware attacks on private computer systems the President has no access to or control over.
