Twitter gets legal approval for the leaked source code. The company wants to find the person who did it. Last week, news that some of Twitter’s source code was leaked on GitHub caused a big noise. The company sent a copyright infringement notice to GitHub at the time, asking for the leaked code to be removed. GitHub reportedly complied and removed the code that day.
Twitter source code leaker must be identified
It is unclear exactly how long the leaked code had been online, but it is believed that a former Twitter employee was behind the leak. This is not yet certain because the platform had asked the District Court for the Northern District of California to issue a formal order to GitHub to identify the person who transferred the code and the people who downloaded it. That order was officially granted today by the District Court for the Northern District of California.
GitHub now has to help identify the people who leaked and downloaded the Twitter source code. It is likely that the leaker and those who downloaded the code will soon face a serious legal battle. According to some people, the source code was leaked on GitHub months ago. According to Elon Musk, Twitter will make all code used to suggest Tweets open source by March 31st.
However, there is a significant difference between this and other source code leaks. In this respect, it is reported that there is a serious security risk due to the leaked codes. According to some, these codes, which were uploaded to GitHub months ago, could cause the company a lot of headaches in the coming period.
What is a company’s “source code”? A company or software’s ‘source code’ is basically the programming instructions that are used to develop their software, application, or company website infrastructure. In simple terms, source code is like the building blocks of the technology that a company uses to operate its business. That is why a company’s source code is important.
