A bombshell report from CNN reveals that a whistleblower accuses Twitter of being a national security threat.
The latest technology threat to U.S. national security doesn't come from China. In fact, it is from a social media site that was developed in the states and is headquartered in San Francisco., reports that Peiter"Mudge" Zatko, former head of security at Twitter, has blown the whistle on the social media site's alleged use of users' personal data calling Twitter a national security threat in a document obtained by CNN.
The disclosure, sent to federal agencies and Congress, characterizes Twitter as a mismanaged company swirling with chaos. The report says that Twitter allowed approximately half of its workforce to have access to its main controls. Zatko also claims that the U.S. government provided Twitter with specific evidence showing that at least one employee and perhaps more, were working for another government's intelligence service.
Another claim made by the whistleblower is that Twitter had"never been in compliance" with demands made by the FTC a decade ago. He also says that Twitter suffers from an"anomalously high rate of security incidents," running at a rate of about one per week forcing the company to make disclosures to government agencies.
Still, Musk says that a high number of bot accounts can degrade the user experience on the site and also negatively impact the long-term value of his purchase. The case, to be heard in Delaware Chancery Court, will take place starting in October.
