Top tech CEOs to snub Obama cyber summit

The Hill reports:

The CEOs of Google, Yahoo and Facebook have declined invitations to attend President Obama's tech summit Friday at Stanford University.

Though Apple CEO Tim Cook will be present along with the top executives from firms like Mastercard and Bank of America, the absence of leaders like Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and Marissa Mayer of Yahoo is notable.

Zuckerberg and Mayer were invited along with Google's Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, but none will attend. Bloomberg News first reported the story late Wednesday.

Facebook, Yahoo and Google and Microsoft will send their top information security executives to the conference instead, Bloomberg reported.
