“Mr. Zatko was fired from his senior executive role at Twitter for poor performance and ineffective leadership over six months ago,” the Twitter spokesperson said.
“While we haven’t had access to the specific allegations being referenced, what we’ve seen so far is a narrative about our privacy and data security practices that is riddled with inconsistencies and inaccuracies and lacks important context.”
“Mr. Zatko’s allegations and opportunistic timing appear designed to capture attention and inflict harm on Twitter, its customers and its shareholders,” the company representative added.
“Security and privacy have long been company-wide priorities at Twitter, and we still have a lot of work ahead of us.”
