Scott Thompson is the second CEO to step down at Yahoo in less than a year, reports the Wall Street Journal this morning. Thompson was embroiled in a scandal after it was discovered that his resume erroneously claimed he had a degree in computer science. The Journal says before he left over the weekend, Thompson disclosed to Yahoo’s board that he’s been diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
