Former Twitter Head of Security Peiter "Mudge" Zatko says the company has major security vulnerabilities that threaten national security. In an exclusive video interview, he tells CNN's Donie O'Sullivan why he's coming forward as a whistleblower.

@An Acc when your viewpoint is poison it deserves to be deplatformed and ignored.
So happy Twitter is not my go to… Never had one and don’t need one
AMEN!!๐๏ธโ๏ธ
I have one, but don’t even know how to use it and really don’t care to use it
Same here! Got off of FB in 2016…all too much thinking control and control of life.

It must be a silly bugger but I donโt reTweet or repost on Facebook about a topic unless Iโm familiar with it enough to know the post to be a fair representation. If Iโve not heard of something, I Google and look for good sources. If I feel like the post mis-represents in any way, I donโt share it unless itโs to debunk it. Why are people believing everything on Twitter or Facebook to begin with?
Ten years ago on Facebook, a friend posted something that was clearly BS. She had gotten a ton of likes.
I confronted her and asked her why she reposted something that was so obviously untrue.
She replied, “Just in case.”
In other words, she did not know if it was true or not, but shared it as if it were true, just in case it was true.
Average IQ is 100, and lots of people are on the lower end of that spectrum.
Don’t believe what you read on Google either, while you are at it.
Add this to the stack of reasons to generally avoid social media. Itโs bad for you in so many ways.
Trust me, that old acquaintance from grade school could not care less about your beef stroganoff. But some potential employer, lover or other future prospect might care very much about some off color joke from 20 years ago that didnโt age well.

I’m with you on that. That’s why I don’t have any social media.
Brave man, I wish him the very best. Also, this is yet another reason I have nothing to do with the twit-verse, it’s leakier than a sieve with 500 meter holes.
Finally, I’m tired of companies throwing out the phrase “‘X’ is a priority.”; they want the public to interpret this as “We’re working on it.”, when in reality it does not mean that. At best it’s one item on a to do list. Remember, every company’s top priority is to amass the highest profits they can and that will always take a backseat to any other stated “priority”.

Twitter, Facebook, Tiktok, Instagram, and all other forms of social media are a literal cancer.
“Poor performance” is a game tech companies play; they adjust the inputs ร levers against which “performance” is measured. Every call center employee, for example, understands how this works, in favor to the company, to exert full power against employees—masked under the guise of “performance stats”.

@CBEdits learn English
Itโs Henry VIII all over again. โI am a rich powerful person and you (the worker) are at my mercy. Give me what I want or Iโll give you the axe.โ
Any power differential in any relationship is a potential liability.
As a previous call center employee, I can confirm that they do indeed use “performance” as an excuse to fire people they don’t like. It’s pretty common, and not just in call centers.
Anyone who gets their perception of the world through Twitter needs a lot more than a whistleblower to set them straight. A whole chain of failures from parents, teachers, peers, friends, etc, must have let this hole swallow someone completely.
It has been standard wisdom since the early 80s not to put all your personal info on someone else’s computer system. How we just arbitrarily legitimized the internet’s bathroom wall as a safe public space, I guess I will never understand.
Everything online is a marketing ploy, and if you don’t know what the product being sold is… it’s you.

You are right on!!!
So, do you watch CNN?
I don’t for some of the reasons you stated. Ironic.
Really true ,I’ve had this handle since those days when you didn’t use your name ,its a habit now but there was a time you didn’t do any information online
Also, fix your audio CNN! You guys are supposed to know how this technology works!

This is pretty much any company running a cloud application.
Yeah, this Mudge guy sounds like a clown. Who cares if hackers take over twitter. It would change nothing.
@Jonas why does Mudge โsound like a clownโ to you?
@Shawn Murray the airplane analogy. Why would you compare twitter employees that work for the company to passengers on a plane. The passengers would be regular twitter users. The employees are like the flight attendants. He speaks in ridiculous hyperbole and his one example isnt even a good one.
@Jonas lol, ok
I still don’t have a Twitter account. I don’t trust the platform and this confirms my fears.
I am not surprised. Many tech companies play it fast and loose tbh. And there is a culture of not taking responsibility or of doing anything to improve major flaws in these kinds of companies unfortunately. It’s not just FB and twitter. But it is surprising and somewhat hopeful to see a senior exec step forward to shed light on the issue in this fashion. Ngl whistleblowing always has personal and professional risk attach to it.

Hello how are you doing
Well put.
Uh, forget all the security holes, when twitter is used as intended it’s a national security threat.

Wasnโt trump one of the biggest national security threats on YouTube?
When I was a girl in the 50s and 60s I remember my dad telling me “baby there’s not a lock in the world that someone can’t open…when someone is making the lock there’s someone making the key”…open access…you cannot lock everyone out.
@Anthony Charkovsky lmao ๐๐คฃ
There’s an old adage in computer security, the only way to make a computer truly secure is to smash it with a hammer.
Good dad. Similar sentiment to my dad telling us โremember, locks only keep an honest man honestโ
@DrumWild ha just wrote almost the exact quote ๐
Twitter’s response being “inaccuracies, inconsistencies, context” is pretty soft in the face of “risk to national security, democracy”.
@Shadow What? Your comment doesn’t make any sense. Don’t be a weirdo,

Mudge has been recognized as an expert in the field for decades, way before Twitter existed. I think I’ll place my bets on him.
@Mario Mario its important becuase it now forces them to be honest under threat of perjury. With cases like this it’s hard to ask questions without a standing. But we now have a witness making these claims. Which we can now question Twitter on.
@TooLateToCare yes and there is no evidence of the person’s claims.
@Mario Mario Again, now that there is a witness. They can now be able to investigate it in the courts. Twitter will have to show why he was fired. And discovery can find out if there solidity in the claim.

I find this all sad. When these companies, like Twitter, first came up, there was such an optimism about bringing the world together online and empowering everyone with information and connectivity. Now itโs all gone to sh๐ฉt because of bad people doing bad things.
But people should know how much worse Tik Tok is… itโs the worst of all.
@FOANS Music Iโm going
Where are you from
It is bad, but there is much worse.
@A. Stri oh, hahaha, sorry. I guess some people have children for husband’s. You can do better.
I appreciate it when people are brave enough to do the right thing like this. Thank you, dude! It seems rare in cases like this and the one occurring now within our own government.

He’s just trying to bring some attention to his new security company now that he’s out of a job and is trying to make money on his own.
It amazes me how these companies are allowed to conduct their businesses without any serious regulations and oversight given the serious threat they pose. I guess in America it’s all about money
