The fact that US President Donald Trump’s Twitter account was deactivated by a rogue employee has raised questions about how much access and control Twitter’s workforce has over an individual user’s account.
Trump’s personal page was shut down for about 11 minutes on Thursday evening (Friday NZ time) by a customer support employee who was leaving the company.
Though Twitter has controls to prevent employees from making tweets from user accounts, the incident suggests that the employee still had some access to accounts and the ability to make changes without much oversight or the need for approval.
​”At a high level, this implies a level of complacency, that organisations generally are perhaps trying to convince themselves they have technology risk managed,” said Yvette Connor, chief risk officer at Focal Point Data Risk, which consults with boards and executives on technology security.
