In both cases, the thieves had gained access to their Apple ID account, and both suspected the thieves of having watched them while they entered their passcodes. Similarly to Ayas and Trent, he said thieves had changed his Apple ID account's password and enabled the recovery key.

Most of Shopify's C-suite has been replaced in the past two years. "There was some hope that they would reprioritize software, whether it's marketing-automation software or customer-engagement software," he added. The former chief technology officer Jean-Michel Lemieux, chief legal officer Joe Frasca, and chief talent officer Brittany Forsyth all departed in 2021. The chief product officer Craig Miller left the company a few months before that, in fall 2020. Shopify has yet to formally fill the chief product officer role, whose responsibilities Lütke said he would take on in the wake of Miller's departure.
