Twitter Inc, reeling from serious security breaches, has acquired one of the world's best hackers to deal with everything from technical Mistakes to misinformation.
The company announced on Monday Peter Zatko, widely known as nickname Mudge, in the new position of head of security, giving him the mandate to propose changes in the structure and practices of the company. 
Zatko responded positively to the CEO Jack Dorsey and is expected to take over security operations after a 45-60 day audit.
Looks like the cat is out of the bag.
I'm very excited to be joining the executive team at Twitter!
I truly believe in the mission of (equitably) serving the public conversation.
I will do my best! https://t.co/ZQkhYTXLQZ
