Peiter Zatko’s testimony to Senate committee threatens to complicate legal battle with Tesla CEO

Peiter “Mudge” Zatko said Twitter was “over a decade behind industry security standards” in an appearance before the US Senate judiciary committee on Tuesday. His testimony has opened up the social media company’s cyber security practices to scrutiny and could shape the future of Musk’s high-stakes legal battle.
