Parts of Twitter’s source code leaked online
By MYBRANDBOOK
As Twitter struggles to reduce technical issues and reverse its business fortunes under Elon Musk, according to a legal filing, parts of Twitter’s source code, the underlying computer code on which the social network runs, were leaked online. Twitter moved to have the leaked code taken down by sending a copyright infringement notice to GitHub, an online collaboration platform for software developers where the code was posted.
GitHub complied and took down the code the same day. It was unclear how long the leaked code had been online, but it appears to have been public for at least several months.
According to the filing, Twitter also asked the US District Court for the Northern District of California to order GitHub to identify the person who shared the code and any other individuals who downloaded it.
Twitter launched an investigation into the leak and executives handling the matter have surmised that whoever was responsible left the San Francisco-based company last year. Since Musk bought Twitter in October for $44 billion, about 75% of the company’s 7,500 employees have been laid off or resigned.
Executives were only recently made aware of the source code leak, people briefed on the internal investigation said. One concern is that the code includes security vulnerabilities that could give hackers or other motivated parties the means to extract user data or take down the site, they said.
