‘At least one Chinese agent working in Twitter’, whistleblower revealed in US Parliament [TKB Tech]

Many of Twitter’s exposing whistleblowers and the company’s former security chief Peter M Jetko made many more revelations on Tuesday. During this, he claimed that Twitter is misleading the public, MPs and regulators. The social media platform is grappling with weak cyber security, privacy threats and an inability to control millions of fake accounts. In fact, Jetko appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee in the US Parliament to testify on the charges.

According to a news report, Jetco has alleged that at least one Chinese agent is working in the company. The Chinese government has enlisted at least one agent of its intelligence agency as a Twitter employee. It was claimed that there could be cyber security related threats from Twitter. A Twitter employee related to China may collect user data at any time.

Let us tell you that Jetco has done this serious at a time when there is a court hearing next month regarding the $ 44 billion deal between Tesla owner Elon Musk and Twitter. Experts say that these serious claims of the whistleblower can also affect this hearing.

Musk also told the whistleblower the reason

Significantly, there was a recent report, in which it was claimed that Elon Musk had mentioned Peter Jetko behind the cancellation of the deal to buy Twitter. The report quoted Musk’s lawyers as saying that the whistleblower and His lawyers were paid $7.75 million and Twitter did not seek Musk’s consent for this payment, which is clearly in violation of the merger agreement. However, there was no official comment from Twitter on this matter.
