Twitter executives push back against whistle-blower complaint.

There is a false narrative being created around a former executive's allegations about the company's security practices, according to executives atTwitter.

The former head of security, Peiter Zatko, was fired in January after making a whistle-blower complaint. Mr. Zatko made his complaint public on Tuesday, accusing the social networking site of lying about its security practices.

Mr. Agrawal told employees at the meeting that the complaint was technically and historically incorrect. There are a lot of accusations without any evidence.

Sean Edgett, the general counsel, and the privacy and security executives echoed Mr.

Mr. Edgett told the board that they had never made a misrepresentation to the regulators. We are in complete compliance with the decree. The decree is reviewed by an external auditor every two years, he said.

Mr. Kieren said that the company required employees to install security updates on their laptops and locked down access to internal systems after a hack.

A lawyer for Peiter Mudge Zatko said that Mr. Zatko will meet with regulators to discuss his allegations His efforts to be smeared are pathetic and will be vindicated by the end of the day.

Dalana Brand, the chief people and diversity officer, talked about the company's elevated attrition rate at the meeting. She said it was due to internal challenges. At the end of the year, there were more than 7,000 full-time workers employed by the micro-blogging site.

The company remained focused on its business and supported its work force despite the fact that employee attrition was happening across the tech industry.

The claims of Mr. Zatko will be included in the lawsuit against Musk, who tried to abandon the acquisition of the social media company. The billionaire is being sued by the social media company to complete the acquisition.

The legal team for Mr. Musk has seized on Mr. Zatko's complaint as proof that the number of fake accounts on the platform has been overstated. The deal was terminated due to a lack of disclosure about the accounts.

In a hearing on Wednesday, lawyers for Mr. Musk mentioned a complaint by Mr. Zatko. Lawyers for the company argued that Mr. Musk's requests for additional data were irrelevant to the case.

Alex Spiro, a lawyer for Mr. Musk, said there is a whistle-blower complaint that talks about the false information given. He was an executive in the company.

The judge will rule later on the matter.
