The social media giant Twitter, under increasing risk of guidelines and plagued by critical security breaks, is turning towards one of the world-renowned programmers to handle everything from bad design lines to security mishaps.
According to Reuters, Twitter on Monday appointed Peiter Zatko, in a new position as head of security, who is known worldwide by the name of hacker handle Mudge, giving him more space for reforms in structures and functions. Zatko responds to CEO Jack Dorsey and is required to oversee key security operations following a 45 to 60 day survey.
Zatko in the latest time has taken a security step in paying for the unicorn Stripe power. Prior to that, he had a separate job at Google and considered distributing the grants for network security businesses at Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research and Projects Agency (DARPA).
Zatko's excellent career began in the 1990s when he played various roles for a temporary administrator for government contractor and was one of the executives of Cult of the Dead Cow, which is a hacking gang known to empower Microsoft for bringing Windows hacking tools to improve security.
There are several security challenges that is faced by Twitter. Last year, the U.S. government accused two men of illegally watching Saudi Arabia over the years while working on Twitter, later on confirming that they were passing on confidential information about state experts.
In July, a small-scale gang hacker was able to cheat employees of Twitter and that become the cause which allowed them to access content, permitting them to change account settings and send upload tweets from the account of then-president Joe Biden, Microsoft author Bill Gates, and Tesla manager Elon Musk.
According to Alex Stamos, a former Facebook manager, and flow scientist Stanford the Twitter need good measures in their security in order to avoid such misfortune events in the by some teenagers who had a little knowledge about programming.
A former security manager at Zatko, Stamos, considered him as a strong game for an organization that had less budget comparing to Facebook and Google.
Zatko said in an announcement that his main focus and attention is on improving public conversations on Twitter. For promoting users to comment rather than basically retweeting, he himself commented on a movie which became the cause to increase “Friction”. The next section is to make people with the ability to understand a beneficial conversation before engaging in it.
Based on Zatko, he also appreciated Twitter's acceptance on unexpected security measures, as his suggestion was to confuse bad characters by dealing with the data they leaked on Twitter about how people interacted with their posts.
