Twitter said on Friday
its head of security is no longer at the company and its chief information
security officer will depart in the coming weeks.
The shakeup comes
after Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey stepped down as chief executive in
November, handing the reins to top deputy Parag Agrawal, who has since
reorganized the leadership structure of the social media company.
Twitter did not
specify whether the departures were voluntary.
Peiter Zatko, a famed hacker more widely
known as "Mudge," was appointed head of security in 2020 after
Twitter suffered a security breach that allowed hackers to tweet from verified
accounts for public figures including billionaire Bill Gates and Tesla CEO Elon
Musk.
The New York Times first reported Zatko's
departure and Rinki Sethi's upcoming departure as CISO earlier on Friday. Zatko
and Sethi could not be immediately reached for comment.
