Ex-WhatsApp Security Chief Says Meta’s Review System Silenced Dissent ⚪️
A former WhatsApp security chief alleges that Meta's obsession with performance reviews left millions of users vulnerable and also cost him his job.
Attaullah Baig, WhatsApp's former head of security, sued Meta earlier this month, alleging that the company ignored major privacy risks and that he faced retaliation for his cybersecurity disclosures. He said hackers were taking over more than 100,000 accounts a day and that thousands of employees had access to sensitive user data like profile photos, locations, and contact lists, leaving millions of users exposed.
At the heart of Attaullah's complaint is a striking claim: that Meta's internal system used to evaluate how employees perform, known as the Performance Summary Cycle (PSC), was twisted to punish him.
