Twitter rival Spoutible alleges smear campaign amid security breach controversy


A user on the Twitter/X alternative Spoutible claims the company deleted their posts after they pushed Spoutible CEO Christopher Bouzy to be more honest

This sort of thing would have been an issue for any startup, but particularly one where the user base is full of early adopters who may have simply tried out Spoutible for a time before moving on to another Twitter alternative, leaving semi-abandoned accounts ripe for the taking. Spoutible CEO Christopher Bouzy confirmed the data breach and vulnerability and the company required users to create new, stronger passwords, after addressing the issue. The incident at Spoutible brings to mind another smaller company, Hive, which also experienced a major security issue after being flooded with Twitter users shortly after Elon Musk’s acquisition.
