Since Elon Musk's takeover, advertisers have paused spending amid fears of a rise in divisive content.

Advertising is Twitter’s main source of revenue, accounting for 90% of its $5.1bn turnover in 2021. In a post on Twitter’s safety account, the company said it would align its advertising policy with that of TV broadcasters and other media outlets. According to a

"We also plan to expand the political advertising we permit in the coming weeks," the company said from its Twitter Safety account. The company tweeted late on Tuesday that "we're relaxing our ads policy for cause-based ads in the US". Twitter says it will ease up on its three-year-old ban on political advertising, the latest change by Elon Musk as he tries to pump up revenue after purchasing the social media platform last year.

It also opens up new opportunities for malicious actors to use technology to game the system. But advertising has historically made up nearly all of Twitter’s revenue, and replacing it could take a long time. It could also give new political candidates a leg up against established incumbents by allowing them to increase their exposure through paid promotion. Now Twitter’s change could create an environment that’s more similar to Facebook’s. But it comes with some risks: the policy change could expose users to threats the company has previously said it may not be able to address, including spreading AI-created deep fakes and other sophisticated attempts to manipulate the platform.

Senate testimony by Peiter “Mudge” Zatko offers valuable lessons on securing data in the cloud.

- Enrich the data: Add in all the metadata, labels and context needed for security, privacy, and governance use cases. Now’s the time to rein-in disconnected data controls with a more rationalized model. We can attack these issues by rethinking how to manage data and establishing a unified data controls framework based on a central view of all sensitive data that includes granular insights to support requirements for data security, privacy, governance, and compliance. Communicate how and when this will happen so they can all prepare. This harmonized approach can help enterprises enforce controls and policies across distributed data sets, including applying zero- trust and least privilege principles that can prevent unauthorized access. The responsibility for safeguarding that information also gets fragmented across groups including security, privacy, and data governance, often working with different tools.

The position will be Zatko's first full-time role since being fired by Twitter a year ago after clashing with then-CEO Parag Agrawal over security concerns.

Among other things, he said half the company’s servers were running out-of-date software and that thousands of engineers had full access to Twitter’s code base with little monitoring of their activity. Loder was banned from Twitter by an order from owner Elon Musk, according to a former employee who saw a screenshot of the notes accompanying the decision.

Twitter owner Elon Musk was urged by the hacker to buy the data before malicious actors, to avoid users “losing trust” in the social media site.

This was also referred to by the hacker in their Breached Forums post. This vulnerability allowed malicious actors to learn if an email address or phone number was associated with an existing account by entering the number or email address and attempting to log in. Users of the site have urged Musk to publicly comment on the data breach.
