Twitter’s cybersecurity chief resigns, heightens concerns about platform safety
Three of Twitter Inc’s top privacy and security officials said they’re leaving, heightening concerns about the company’s ability to keep its platform secure and comply with regulatory rules.
Lea Kissner, Twitter’s former chief information security officer, announced that they were leaving Thursday. Damien Kieran, the chief privacy officer, and Marianne Fogarty, chief compliance officer, also resigned from the company on Wednesday night, according to an internal message reviewed by Bloomberg News.
“I’ve made the hard decision to leave Twitter,” Kissner, who uses the pronoun they, wrote Thursday in a tweet. “I’ve had the opportunity to work with amazing people and I’m so proud of the privacy, security, and IT teams and the work we’ve done.”
