Twitter Upping Security To Thwart Government Hacking

I feel safer knowing that, after the government stole all our personal information, companies like Twitter, Google and Facebook are finally upping security.

Following in the footsteps of other tech companies, Twitter is beefing up its security to make it harder for outsiders -- including the government -- to uncover data, the company announced Friday. Twitter has added forward secrecy, a security measure that uses temporary, individual keys to encrypt each Web session, instead of relying on a single master key.
