Twitter\u2019s former security chief Peiter \u201cMudge\u201d Zatko will testify in Congress next month after he went public with damning allegations<\/a> about the social media company\u2019s security practices and attempts to mislead regulators, the Washington Post <\/em>reports<\/a>. Zatko is scheduled to speak at a hearing on September 13th and is expected to address the privacy and national security concerns raised in his complaint.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Zatko\u2019s allegations of widespread security failures and foreign state actor interference at Twitter raise serious concerns,\u201d said the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee Senator Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill) and the committee top Republican Senator Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) in a joint statement. \u201c<\/em>If these claims are accurate, they may show dangerous data privacy and security risks for Twitter users around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zatko has already met privately with Judiciary Committee staff, and has had three meetings on Capitol Hill, according to the Washington Post <\/em>reports.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIf these claims are accurate, they may show dangerous data privacy and security risks for Twitter users\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nZatko\u2019s complaint has also drawn scrutiny from European data protection regulators, TechCrunch <\/em>reports<\/a>. The complaint claims that, if EU regulators had made enquiries about Twitter\u2019s security practices, the company would have attempted to mislead them the same way it misled the FTC. Ireland\u2019s Data Protection Commission, which leads enforcement of the EU\u2019s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for Twitter because of the location of the tech company\u2019s EU headquarters, said it had \u201cengaged with Twitter\u201d over the issues raised in the whistleblower complaint. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile France\u2019s data watchdog, CNIL, told TechCrunch <\/em>that it is \u201ccurrently investigating\u201d claims made in Zatko\u2019s complaint, and that its investigation could result in \u201can order to comply or a sanction\u201d if Twitter is found to have broken the law. TechCrunch <\/em>notes that it\u2019s unclear what sanctions Twitter could face in the EU, but GDPR allows fines of up to 4 percent of a company\u2019s global annual turnover depending on the severity of the violation.<\/p>\n
Twitter declined to comment to The<\/em> Washington Post<\/em> on news of the hearing, and a representative from the company did not immediately respond to The Verge<\/em>\u2019s request for comment. But in an internal memo sent<\/a> after the revelations became public, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal said the claims are \u201ca false narrative that is riddled with inconsistencies and inaccuracies, and presented without important context\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Zatko was fired from his senior executive role at Twitter for poor performance and ineffective leadership over six months ago,\u201d a spokesperson for the company told CNN<\/em><\/a> when the allegations became public. \u201cMr. Zatko\u2019s allegations and opportunistic timing appear designed to capture attention and inflict harm on Twitter, its customers and its shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zatko, who was fired by Twitter in January<\/a> shortly after Agrawal became CEO<\/a>, makes numerous damning claims about security lapses at the company in the complaint filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last month. In particular, he says the company has violated the agreement it made with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)<\/a> to uphold various security safeguards after a pair of security incidents in 2009. <\/p>\n
The former security chief also alleges that Twitter\u2019s approach to measuring the number of bots on its platform is misleading, which if true would cast down on its claims that less than 5 percent of its monthly users are bots, fake accounts, or spam. This figure has proven key in Twitter\u2019s ongoing legal battle with Elon Musk, after the Tesla CEO attempted to back out of his agreement to buy the social media network<\/a> over a dispute about the number of bots on its platform.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
