When nearly half of major companies report threats against their leadership, the problem stops being security theater and becomes a legitimacy crisis. Tech executives in particular are bearing the brunt because they've centralized power over communication, commerce, and information in ways that leave them exposed to public anger about algorithmic harms, data privacy, and market concentration. The threats reflect genuine grievances about corporate power, not just cranks. This forces boards to either address the underlying business practices fueling resentment, or double down on security spending that only isolates leaders further from the constituencies they've alienated.
