Twitter's former security chief Peiter "Mudge" Zatko has complained to US Securities & Exchange Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, and the US Justice Department accussing the company and its board of violating financial rules, of fraud, and of grossly neglecting its security obligations.
"During Mudge's employment, he uncovered extreme, egregious deficiencies by Twitter in every area of his mandate, including … user privacy, digital and physical security, and platform integrity / content moderation," the complaint says.
The Washington Post obtained and published a redacted copy of the complaint, which makes numerous allegations about occurrences and practices preceding and during Zatko's time at the company, which ran from November 16, 2020 through January 19, 2022.
