The incident raised two main issues: security and the impact of source code exposure. In terms of security, the incident revealed vulnerabilities in Twitter's security system, highlighting the need for better security measures to protect users' personal information. In terms of impact, the source code is a company's core asset, and its exposure allows competitors or hackers to potentially exploit it. The leak also increases the likelihood of discovering security flaws or vulnerabilities in the system, which hackers can exploit. Furthermore, source code exposure can have a negative impact on a company's image, as it raises questions about the company's technology and safety, and may weaken its competitive advantage.
As a result, companies need to take security more seriously and take quick action to minimize the impact of source code exposure. They need to update their source code regularly and improve their security systems to protect user data and prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
