Twitter's source code has partially leaked due to unknown reasons.
GitHub later took down the repository containing the code.
- The source code was leaked by an account named "FreeSpeechEnthusiast."
- GitHub closed the account after Twitter filed a petition in the District Court of Northern California asking GitHub to do so.
- In order to track the person who leaked the proprietary information, Tesla asked GitHub to share the following information:
- name,
- address
- telephone number
- email address
- social media profile data,
- and IP address.
- At this stage, it is unknown whether any threat actors accessed the GitHub repository containing the source code before the company took it down.
