Twitter, Inc. (NYSE: TWTR) Securities Fraud Class Action:
The litigation focuses on Twitter's repeated claims about its compliance with its March 2011 settlement with the Federal Trade Commission that barred the company for 20 years 'from misleading consumers about the extent to which it protects the security, privacy, and confidentiality of nonpublic consumer information, including the measures it takes to prevent unauthorized access to nonpublic information and honor the privacy choices made by consumers.'
The complaint alleges: (1) Twitter knew about security concerns on its platform; (2) Twitter actively worked to hide the security concerns from the board, investors, and regulators; (3) contrary to Twitter's representations in SEC filings, it did not take steps to improve security; and (4) Twitter's active refusal to address security issues increased the risk of loss of public goodwill.
Investors learned the truth on Aug. 23, 2022, when CNN reported that Peiter 'Mudge' Zatko, Twitter's former head of security, alleged in his July 2022 whistleblower complaint 'that Twitter's leadership misled its own board and government regulators about its security vulnerabilities, including some that could allegedly open the door to foreign spying or manipulation, hacking and disinformation campaigns.'
This news sent the price of Twitter shares down over 7% lower on Aug. 23, 2022, wiping out over $2 billion of shareholder value.
'We're focused on investors' losses and whether Twitter lied about its commitment to protect users' nonpublic information,' said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
