Twitter Hires Mudge as head of security at Twitter. I hate twitter, but always liked Mudge. Anybody else remember the l0pht site, with the black crawling systems archives.

If he is getting hired as head of security for twitter, he most likely is a part of the enemy.

What do you like about mudge? He's apparently the kind of guy who will happily sell out to a censored platform run by left wingers if the paycheck is big enough.

He did a lot of work in buffer overflow and exploit research. He built l0phtcrack. He brought info security into the light, big on full disclosure of vulnerabilities.

But you are right. I was led to believe the computer guys of the 80s and 90s liked open information, everything in the sun. Now it seems the tech crowd just wants to suppress news and build false narratives. They are the enemy now.
