(Reuters) - British tech tycoon Mike Lynch has resigned as an adviser to Darktrace PLC, a British cyber security firm, the Telegraph reported on Friday.

He has stepped down from Darktrace's science and technology committee a week after UK's Home Secretary Priti Patel ordered the former Autonomy boss's U.S. extradition to face criminal charges, the report said.

Darktrace has not immediately responded to Reuters request for comment.
