| Twitter users get extra security with HTTPS |
HTTPS, or Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, creates a safe connection by checking whether a site is genuine or not. Usually used to protect online bank accounts and internet purchasing, this technology is now available to protect Twitter tweets. Hacking into Twitter, while not the same issue as where personal information is routinely transmitted, such as when accessing a bank online, can still cause problems. According to Graham Cluley from security firm Sophos. “When that person is someone like Ashton Kutcher who has six million followers, then someone can send a message from them that might be spam or phishing or malware," Facebook has also said that it will be offering HTTPS security, although this has not yet been fully implemented. |
