What do Wikipedia, Bing, Reddit, and the FBI Have in Common?
This week has seen great progress in the effort to encrypt the web. Wikimedia, Microsoft's Bing search engine, reddit, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation each announced plans to protect their site visitors by using secure HTTPS connections by default—or already have already adopted this policy. We've been talking to some of these organizations for years about the importance of delivering secure access to every user, and we're thrilled that they've recognized its importance and taken this step. (Wikimedia, at least, will also use HSTS to enhance security.)
