The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating a data and privacy security breach that occurred at Twitter before Elon Musk took over as CEO. The investigation is focused on the former leadership of the company and their handling of security flaws in 2018, including whether they properly informed shareholders of privacy issues. The SEC is also examining whether appropriate controls were in place before the breach, which exposed users' personal information. In addition to the Twitter investigation, the SEC is looking into whether Musk violated federal securities laws during his acquisition of the social media platform.
