The two most significant issues I've dealt with in the last year have been Microsoft's PrintNightmare and the two rounds of 10/10 Microsoft Exchange vulnerabilities. In both cases, news regarding mitigations, scanning, live exploits and efficacy of patches all came from a few people's Twitter feed.

We have several vendors selling us "threat intelligence" and nothing I received provided all the detail, and "official" information was often literally a screenshot of people's Tweets, a week after I saw them. Customers were asking us for help and were I not looking a Twitter I would have had nothing.

I'd like to block Twitter. I never actually made an account there. But I can't manage what I need to without it.



Can’t you curate your Twitter with only high quality information sources like this? Not a Twitter user btw.
