On 08/23/2022 the Washington Post published an article reporting that Twitter’s former security chief, Peiter Zatko, had filed a complaint with US regulators, including the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, alleging “blatant deficiencies” in the company’s defenses filed against hackers. In his complaint, Zatko said he had warned colleagues that some of Twitter’s servers were running outdated software and that executives had withheld information about breaches and a lack of protection of user data.
