(Picture: PA Archive)A former Twitter exec has accused the company of jeopardising personal and national security with its information handling policies in the latest blow for the social media company as it wrestles with Elon Musk in court over his abandoned takeover deal.
Peiter “Mudge” Zatko, who was Twitter’s head of security until he left in January, alleged the firm doesn’t delete users’ data after they deactivate their accounts, and has cybersecurity policies that expose it to hacking and disinformation by state aggressors, according to documents obtained by CNN.
