The filing also claims that the company violated a privacy agreement made with the FTC that required it to delete the data of any users who decided to cancel their Twitter accounts and that the company intentionally manipulated data on the number of bot accounts on the platform.<\/p>\n<p id=\"lio0JY\">In a response provided to CNN \u2014 language from which was echoed in an email sent by Agrawal to Twitter staff \u2014 a Twitter spokesperson said that Zatko\u2019s allegations were \u201criddled with inconsistencies and inaccuracies\u201d and seemed \u201cdesigned to capture attention and inflict harm on Twitter, its customers and its shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"qc9iwk\">But Twitter\u2019s fierce pushback against Zatko\u2019s criticism prompted a backlash from many leading voices in the field, who spoke out to endorse the security expert\u2019s credentials and track record. Alec Muffett, an internet security expert and software engineer who worked on Twitter\u2019s efforts to launch a Tor service, told <em>The Verge<\/em> that he had known Zatko for decades and trusted the claims made in the SEC disclosure.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ootJ6n\">\u201cI\u2019ve known Mudge since the mid 1990s when he \u2014 and the other members of the L0pht \u2014 were capable and scrappy hackers,\u201d Muffett said. \u201cHe demonstrated enormous creativity and drive towards improvement of internet security overall &#8230; I have no hesitation about supporting his observations as being both highly credible and concerning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"TxzPVa\">Zatko first gained prominence as part of the L0pht, a Boston-based hacker collective known as an influential computer security research group in the 1990s. Notably, while the L0pht released software, the group also advised on policy, even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/sf\/business\/2015\/06\/22\/net-of-insecurity-part-3\/\">giving testimony before the Senate<\/a> on internet security in 1998. In his earlier hacking days, Zatko was also a member of the notorious hacker group Cult of the Dead Cow, which also counted former presidential candidate (and current Texas gubernatorial candidate) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2019\/3\/15\/18267413\/beto-orourke-hacker-cult-dead-cow-cdc-president-run\">Beto O\u2019Rourke as a member<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ifbZI2\">As his profile grew, Zatko took on roles with Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Google\u2019s Advanced Technologies and Projects research group. He was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/twitter-hires-darpa-google-cybersecurity-expert-052851202.html\">hired by Twitter in 2020<\/a> in the months after a major security incident that saw hackers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2020\/7\/15\/21326200\/elon-musk-bill-gates-twitter-hack-bitcoin-scam-compromised\">take over some of the platform\u2019s most-followed celebrity accounts<\/a>. But he stayed only just over a year, being fired by incoming CEO Agrawal in January 2022.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6LLhui\">One of Zatko\u2019s specific claims \u2014 that too many employees are given access to critical software within the company \u2014 seemed to be supported by details shared by Al Sutton, a former software engineer at Twitter. In a tweet, Sutton said that he was still able to commit code in the employee group fo Twitter\u2019s open-source software repositories on the code hosting website GitHub, despite having left the company 18 months ago.<\/p>\n<div id=\"0C03tC\" readability=\"7.3255813953488\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"8.953488372093\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">If you are wondering if the stuff about Twitter security being lapse is just one person complaining, you might be interested to know that, 18 months after being let go from the company, I&#8217;ve not been removed from their employees GitHub commiters group. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/j02GpKdKor\">https:\/\/t.co\/j02GpKdKor<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zqmj7PyaZM\">pic.twitter.com\/zqmj7PyaZM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Al Sutton (@alsutton) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alsutton\/status\/1562096040374927360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 23, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"UJOoKj\">The tweet linked to Twitter\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/orgs\/twitter\/people\">organization page on GitHub<\/a>, showing that Sutton\u2019s account was still listed as one of only 34 contributing members. Shortly after <em>The Verge <\/em>reached out to Twitter for comment, Sutton\u2019s account was removed as a contributor.<\/p>\n<p id=\"l2pO4A\">Contacted by <em>The Verge<\/em>, Sutton declined to comment further on Twitter\u2019s security posture but said of Zatko, \u201cI had very little overlap with Mudge, but from what overlap I did have, and other folk I know who know him pretty well, he\u2019s brutally honest and I have zero reason to doubt his claims.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"XgDXsE\">Already, leaders in the security space have rushed to Zatko\u2019s public defense. Industrial security specialist Robert M. Lee <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RobertMLee\/status\/1562073925600829440?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1562073925600829440%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&#038;ref_url=about%3Asrcdoc\">accused Twitter of a smear campaign<\/a>, saying Mudge\u2019s skills and leadership were \u201csome of the most beloved and well documented in the community.\u201d Prominent cybersecurity journalist Kim Zetter echoed the sentiment, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KimZetter\/status\/1562045006520627200\">saying<\/a>  there was \u201cprobably no security exec with more ethics, more credibility than Mudge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"oiPW20\"><em>The Verge<\/em> reached out to Mudge for comment but did not receive a response. A statement sent from Whistleblower Aid, a nonprofit organization that supports whistleblowers and is representing Zatko, said that \u201clegal obligations prevent Mudge and Whistleblower Aid from discussing events during Mudge\u2019s time at Twitter, except through lawful, properly authorized disclosures including subpoenas to testify which he would of course honor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"MeAFIv\">Twitter did not provide a comment by time of publication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><code><br \/><\/br><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/23\/23318554\/cybersecurity-pros-defend-twitter-whistleblower-peiter-mudge-zatko\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/23\/23318554\/cybersecurity-pros-defend-twitter-whistleblower-peiter-mudge-zatko<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Peiter \u201cMudge\u201d Zatko, the former Twitter security chief who has alleged that the company covered up negligent security practices and lied to regulators about data management, was a credible, capable, and brutally honest security expert, according to peers and colleagues.
