Twitter went public in a very unexpected way recently after company officials discovered a significant leak of the social media platform’s source code.
A new report from The New York Times(Opens in a new tab) found that an unspecified part of that source code (the code that makes the site work, basically) had been publicly posted on Github.
Twitter filed a copyright claim and had the code taken down last Friday, but according to the Times, it had been public on the site for “several months,” posted by a mysterious, unidentified user named “FreeSpeechEnthusiast.”
