I just tried to search for it, not with touch effort to be honest, but man is internet search a dumpster fire by now. Results, searching for the actual report filled by Mudge, were news coverage from all kinds of sources, ads for whistleblower training, answers to the question what a Whistleblower is and news coverage of the hearing without any details or links to actual report. So take my comment with that in mind. Mudge claims that twitter had no way to identify foreign intel agents and get rid of them by themselves. Heck, that is quite a statement. No company actually has that capability in house to do it systematically. Even security sensitive civilian jobs rely on authorities to do just that during security clearance checks. Even intelligence agencies need dedicated counter-intel operations to do that and those fail regularly. Not sure what the other claims are, from news coverage the fact that data access is not tracked by user is a serious problem so, I agree. Expecting a non-security relevant employer to prevent infiltration by foreign state actors is way too much to expect so, IMHO. That would have been a job for the, e.g. FBI to decide that Twitter important enough to make it security relevant and put a program with Twitter in place to prevent infiltration. Or not, in case US three-letter agencies have their own agents in place. If Twitter knowingly hired foreign agents, that would be something different and quite stupid and dangerous. EDIT: Coming to think of it. Why would it be up to Twitter to decide what to do about a foreign spy in their workforce? Wouldn't US counter intel take the lead in that? And just maybe Twitter firing the person isn't actually in the US best interest... |

The first result for "mudge whistleblower report pdf" was https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/22186683/twitter-whis...
But not being able to verify the source I looked at articles and the WaPo one had the document linked in this article:
