A former security chief at Twitter told Congress on Tuesday that the social platform is plagued by weak cyber defences, privacy threats and the inability to control millions of fake accounts. Peter Mudge Zatko, a respected cybersecurity expert, appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee to lay out his allegations. Twitter's misleading the public, lawmakers and regulators, Zatko said as he began his sworn testimony. The platform is over a decade behind the industry's best standard, he said. This is a big deal for all of us. It doesn't matter who has keys if there are no locks, Zatko said. Zatko was the head of security for the influential platform until he was fired early this year.

Twitter whistleblower Peiter Zatko taking security warnings to Congress

Peiter Mudge Zatko, the Twitter whistleblower who is warning of security flaws, privacy threats and lax controls at the social platform, will take his case to Congress on Tuesday. Senators who will hear Zatko's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee are alarmed by his Twitter allegations at a time of heightened concern over the safety of powerful tech platforms. It's Zatko's second Capitol Hill appearance, and in some ways a 21st-century echo of his first.

Zatko, a respected cybersecurity expert, was Twitter's head of security until he was fired early this year. He has brought the stunning allegations to Congress and federal regulators, asserting that the influential social platform misled regulators about its cyber defences and efforts to control millions of spam or fake accounts.
