Twitter's Source Code Leaked Online Amid Layoff Spree and Valuation Drop

Portions of Twitter's source code were leaked on GitHub, and Twitter is trying to force GitHub to identify the user or users who posted the code. The leaker may have been one of the roughly 5,500 employees who left Twitter via layoff, firing, or resignation after Elon Musk bought the company. Twitter executives are concerned 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. Twitter sent a DMCA takedown notice and asked a federal court to issue a subpoena to obtain the user's identifying information.
