Twitter Inc. said it has stepped up encryption of its service, in the latest effort by a technology company to beef up security following reports of spying on digital content by the National Security Agency.
The San Francisco-based microblogging service said in a blog post yesterday that it recently enabled a technology dubbed forward secrecy for traffic going through its websites, which makes it more difficult for hackers to decrypt information.
