have sparked concerns among lawmakers and cyber experts that the alleged vulnerabilities pose a threat to national security.
The most damning claims from Zatko, who was fired earlier this year for what Twitter described as poor performance, suggest the company relied on outdated software and that executives failed to understand the level of access that employees had to user accounts. In addition, Zatko suggested that Twitter is vulnerable to espionage from foreign governments and that some employees may be working for government intelligence agencies.
