Sen. ChuckGrassley demands ElonMusk 'immediately' fix Twitter security failures
Sen. Chuck Grassley sent a letter to Musk on Tuesday asking that he address allegations voiced by former Twitter head of security Peiter Zatko about employees having direct access to user data without proper protections. Grassley and other lawmakers inquired about the data being used by foreign agents for nefarious purposes."In the hands of a foreign adversary, this data is a gold mine of information that could be used against American interests," Grassley wrote.
Grassley requested that Musk review Twitter's security status, as discussed by Zatko, and report the results to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Twitter's team had an instance of internal conflict in the past after the FBI claimed that at least one employee at Twitter had affiliations with the Chinese Communist Party, according to Zatko. Former Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal had been invited to testify before the Committee in September but declined to do so.
Musk has focused primarily on matters of free speech in his first few weeks at Twitter. This includes restoring Twitter access for an assortment of accounts, including former President Donald Trump, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene , and the Babylon Bee. He has also laid off more than 3,700 staff, and an estimated 1,200 resigned after that.
