Yahoo promises security for user data

In mid-October, Yahoo announced that it would encrypt their webmail service. And today, CEO Marissa Mayer of the company added that not only Yahoo Mail, all products and other user data will also be encrypted.

The time that Yahoo will complete this work is the end of the first quarter of 2014. In a Yahoo post on Tumblr, Mayer pointed out three strategies that the company will apply to protect data for their users, include:

1. Encrypt all data stored in its data centers, before the first quarter of 2014.
2. Provide users with the option to encrypt all data streams to / from Yahoo, also before the first quarter of 2014.
3. Collaborate closely with Yahoo's international Mail partners so that brand-shared Mail accounts with Yahoo will apply the https protocol.

This policy somewhat helps users feel more secure in the process of use, especially when in recent times, a series of reports show that agencies like NSA want to " rummage " user data from the giants. Internet giants such as Yahoo, Google, Facebook . Long ago, CEO Mayer also stressed that Yahoo never allowed NSA or any government agency to access their data center.
