To strengthen the security and confidentiality of trade, Twitter has just activated the default HTTPS encryption, which is or will be soon (the time of deployment) available to all.

Now, HTTPS will be on by default for all users, whenever you sign in to Twitter.com. If you prefer not use it, you can turn it off on your Account Settings page. HTTPS is one of the best ways to keep your account safe.

The little bird is not out!

Until now the user could choose whether to enable HTTPS encryption (encryption layer that enables secure HTTP traffic, based on two security protocols: SSL / TLS), whereas now it will be enabled by default. However, social network users can always disable this option in the account settings, this is why it is important to remember that this option will allow you to secure your connection and protect your session. It is highly recommended if you happen to connect to a wireless network unsecured (public hotspot).
