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 Peiter 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

Zatko recently oversaw the security of Unicorn Stripe electronic payments. Prior to that, she worked on special projects Google and supervised projects in the field of security at the famous Research and Projects Organization Defense of the Pentagon (DARPA).
Zatko's career began in the 1990s when he conducted classified work for a government contractor and was among the founders of the Cult of the Dead Cow, a hacking group famous for releasing hacking tools for Windows, in order to improve Microsoft's security.
