non-disclosure and non-disparagement provisions; crucially, though, it didn’t preclude him from filing the whistleblower complaint or testifying before Congress.
Zatko—who once worked as a hacker and helped companies find security vulnerabilities—pegged much of the problems to a culture of disorganization and misplaced priorities. “They’re simply unwilling to put the effort in at the cost of other efforts such as driving revenue,” he said, noting that Twitter frequently lacks employees with the necessary language skills to address foreign content moderation issues. “They’re only able to focus on one crisis at a time,” he said.
Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Beast, but the company has previously challenged Zatko’s credibility, saying his accusations are “riddled with inaccuracies” and that he was fired “for ineffective leadership and poor performance.”

Twitter whistleblower says platform's security flaws exploited by 'teenagers, thieves and spies'The former security chief at Twitter told Congress that the social media platform is plagued by weak cyber defenses that make it vulnerable to exploitation by 'teenagers, thieves and spies' and put the privacy of its users at risk. Kind like California’s Power Grid under French Laundry Hypocrite! Not surprised by this news. It’s unfortunate though that it takes a person being fired before coming forward with valuable information like this. If Zatko was still employed by Twitter Congress et al & those using the platform would still be unaware of this! Zatko misled public for years too as he only came forward when he was fired! Shame on him for not doing so while he was still w/Twitter. He could have done it anonymously. I’m betting because he didn’t, Congress & the American people would not know this if he was still w/them!
