Today's Story Highlights

Twitter Shuffles Deck as COO Bain Steps Down
Twitter COO Adam Bain is leaving the company, according to a document
the company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier
this week. The news comes just weeks after Twitter's attempt to find a
buyer failed. Bain ran the company's entire revenue business. CFO
Anthony Noto will step into his vacated spot, meaning the company will
need to find a new financial chief.

Election Day Cybershenanigans Highlight Need to Shore Up Security
Hackers last week launched DDoS attacks against both presidential
candidates' campaign websites. The attacks were routed through HTTP
Layer 7 of the OSI protocol. There were at least four 30-second attacks
reported. "The websites were not penetrated by a cyberintrusion," said
John Costello, a senior analyst at Flashpoint. The attackers were
unsophisticated hackers and not a nation-state.

Silicon Valley Reels From Trump Shock
PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel ran a victory lap following Tuesday's
presidential election, but many other Silicon Valley figures were
stunned by the historic upset victory of real estate mogul Donald Trump
against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Thiel, a billionaire
conservative activist, last month made headlines by donating $1.25
million to Trump.
