Parts of Twitter source code were accessible online amid data leak.
Portions of Twitter Inc.’s source code have been leaked and billionaire Elon Musk’s social media platform is seeking information on the person responsible, according to a government request.
Twitter’s source code, which is used to run the company online, were posted on Github, a Microsoft-owned platform for sharing code for software development, by a user named ‘FreeSpeechEnthusiast’.
Github said it removed the code on Friday at the request of Twitter.
Twitter petitioned the US District Court for the Northern District of California to order Github to provide “all personally identifiable information” related to the username “FreeSpeechEnthusiast,” reported March 24.
