On: Ex-Twitter exec blows the whistle, alleging reckless cybersecurity policies

[brundolf]

There's been at least one Saudi spy found working at Twitter and convicted: https://nypost.com/2022/08/09/ex-twitter-employee-ahmad-abou...

> Saudi citizen Ali Alzabarah, who worked as an engineer at Twitter, used their positions to access confidential Twitter data about users, their email addresses, phone numbers and IP addresses, the latter of which be used to identify a user’s location

Internal data security practices could probably have helped limit his access

The line between "spy" and foreign-lobby operative is pretty blurry when it comes to KSA/Israel/etc. Look at Jonathan Pollard.

I would be surprised if there were an actual Chinese/Russian/Iranian spy working at Twitter.
