Twitter Inc., under serious security breaches, acquired one of the best hackers in the world to deal with everything from technical errors 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 CEO Jack Dorsey and is expected to take over the management of 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
