聯邦調查局警告推特可能有中國特工在工資單上，參議員格拉斯利說

根據參議員查克·格拉斯利 (Chuck Grassley) 的說法，美國聯邦調查局 (FBI) 已警告 Twitter，其工資單上可能至少有一名中國特工，並總結了此前未披露的 Twitter 舉報人 Peiter “Mudge” Zatko 對其前雇主的指控的細節。

此前報導的 Zatko 舉報人披露的版本 – 於 7 月提交給當局，並於 8 月由 CNN 和《華盛頓郵報》首次報導 – 表明美國政府已向 Twitter 提供了具體信息，其中至少一名員工，或許更多，可能是為外國情報機構工作。

但該版本的披露並未指明可疑特工可能隸屬於哪個國家。

“由於 [Zatko 的] 披露，我們了解到 Twitter 用戶的個人數據可能會暴露給外國情報機構，”格拉斯利在周二涉及 Zatko 的舉報人聽證會上的開場白中說。“例如，他的披露表明印度能夠在 Twitter 中放置至少兩個可疑的外國資產。他的披露還指出，FBI 向 Twitter 通報了該公司至少一名中國特工。”

Twitter 沒有公開回應 Zatko 對外國情報妥協的指控，儘管它更普遍地指責 Zatko 散佈關於該公司的“虛假敘述”。

該公司沒有立即回應對格拉斯利言論發表評論的請求。

FBI warned Twitter it may have Chinese agent on payroll, Sen. Grassley says

The FBI has warned Twitter it may have at least one Chinese agent on its payroll, according to Sen. Chuck Grassley, summarizing previously undisclosed details of an allegation by Twitter whistleblower Peiter “Mudge” Zatko against his former employer.

A previously reported version of Zatko’s whistleblower disclosure — submitted to authorities in July and first reported by CNN and The Washington Post in August — indicated that the US government had provided Twitter with specific information that at least one of its employees, perhaps more, may be working for a foreign intelligence agency.

But that version of the disclosure did not identify which country the suspected agent may have been affiliated with.

“Because of [Zatko’s] disclosures, we’ve learned that personal data from Twitter users was potentially exposed to foreign intelligence agencies,” Grassley said in his opening remarks during a whistleblower hearing involving Zatko on Tuesday. “For example, his disclosures indicate that India was able to place at least two suspected foreign assets within Twitter. His disclosures also note that the FBI notified Twitter of at least one Chinese agent in the company.”

Twitter has not publicly responded to Zatko’s allegations of foreign intelligence compromise, though it has accused Zatko more generally of spreading a “false narrative” about the company.

The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Grassley’s remarks.

早就懷疑Twitter、Youtube內部是否有可能有中共國間諜，尤其是審查中文內容的人，洩露用戶信息用來鎮壓抓捕。現在FBI已經開始著眼調查。希望Twitter、Youtube、Facebook這些公司能夠去除中共國間諜。

Edit: Ok. 許多人都知道這些公司有中共國間諜。Fine. 但我轉發這條新聞是因為，FBI開始重視這類事情本身，我認為這是一個新聞。
