Mozilla Security Chief Calls It Quits
Window Snyder, the head of security at Mozilla Corp., will resign her position at the end of the year, she said in a blog post Wednesday.
Snyder, who has the kooky job title of "chief security something-or-other," is in charge of improving security in the Firefox Web browser and other Mozilla projects.
She isn't yet saying publicly what she plans to do next. A source familiar with her plans said she is going to work at a start-up company.
"I am sad to be leaving, but I am excited to go work on something I have always been passionate about," Snyder wrote in the Mozilla security blog. "I wish I could tell you about it now, but that will have to wait for a while."
She joined Mozilla in September 2006 from Microsoft, where she was a security strategist and worked on Microsoft's security-focused Windows XP Service Pack 2 update.
