Twitter didn't monitor employee computers at all, it was not uncommon for employees to install spyware on work devices

No fucking wonder there were security problems.

There wasn't any fucking security. Twitter must have been a god send to foreign intelligence agencies.

Twitter does not have separate development, test, staging, and production environments. At least 5,000 employees had privileged access to production systems.

Oh jesus, kill me now.

Jesus fucking Christ. Oh my fucking God.

No wonder he brought in all those fucking engineers and said they were gonna work 60 hour weeks. Twitter is about as professionally managed as fucking Tumblr.

It was at this point when he learned that it was impossible to protect the production environment. All engineers had access. There was no logging of who went into the environment or what they did. When Mudge asked what could be done to protect the integrity and stability of the service from a rouge or disgruntled engineer during this heightened period of risk he learned it ws basically nothing. There were no logs, nobody knew where data lived or whether it was critical, and all engineers had some form of critical access to the production environment.

No wonder Musk locked down the code multiple times. The only security he could have had was physically securing it, from the engineers themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if people had to literally clock-in with punch card to keep track after he locked it down.

He shared this fact with senior leadership, who instructed him not to put it in writing for the Board.

Ah yes, this is the solution: lie about the scale of the problem to senior leadership.

Black Swan event

Just reading this is giving me PTSD.

Twitter had no software development lifecycle

What even the fuck are you doing????

Twitter did not keep backups of employee computers. They used to, but then the system broke, was never fixed, and execs decided this was good because it meant they couldn't comply with regulators.

"We can't break the law if we can't comply with it!!!" taps forehead, pokes eye out.

Makes you wonder who was paying the bills...

Twitter had no software development lifecycle.

Makes you wonder: what was the longterm plan for Twitter? Who runs a company without a growth/sustainment plan?

execs decided this was good because it meant they couldn't comply with regulators.

Breaking federal law without prosecution...? I'm still waiting on my 2021 tax return because I was living off my savings and the (((IRS))) can't comprehend someone with a nordic name having that much money in USA. They were flagrantly violating federal regulations with zero repercussions...🤔

Who could be behind such an operation...?

So, the problem is, if it were just the American intelligence agencies, you'd think they'd at least try and protect something that's their own asset.

It's possible that that the it's just kind of the Fabians generally, and they were funding Twitter solely to craft perception and nothing else, being uninterested in security because it meant their own security agencies could control the environment better. Basically a Globalist cum dump for whomever needed to control the conversation, collectively passed around for everyone's amusement.
