Washington Post Encrypts Website to Block Hackers

BBC News: The Washington Post has begun encrypting parts of its website to make it harder for cyber spies and hackers to monitor the stories users are reading. The newspaper said it wanted users to “feel secure”, adding that it was the “first major general news organization” to make such a move. It acknowledged, however, that it might see a fall in ad sales as a result. “I can think of scenarios where intelligence agencies would want to monitor what people are accessing on newspaper websites.”
