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
