If you are one of the millions of worldwide users of Twitter, your online interaction and security with the twitter.com site has now been greatly enhanced by the implementation of the HTTPS protocol.
Essentially, a HTTPS connection to their site means that all data sent and received is encrypted. This is an extremely important security precaution for you, and even more so if you connect to the internet from an unencrypted and unsecured wifi hotspot. Without encryption, other users on that wifi hotspot can capture all of your data and potentially use if for nefarious purposes.
Twitter users can now set their accounts to only connect via HTTPS by enabling this setting in their account settings.
