Twitter acquires dynamic duo at Whisper Systems, works to beef up privacy / security

You know that tweet you just wrote about your innermost emotions and the tasty sandwich you just ate. It's about to become that much more secure. Adding to its list of available resources, Twitter has acquired Whisper Systems, a two-man security outfit specializing in mobile device security and data scrambling on the Android operating system. Whisper, founded in 2010 by security industry mainstays Moxie Marlinspike and Stuart Anderson, has garnered a reputation for exposing high-profile vulnerabilities in systems that encrypt data over the Internet and WiFi networks.
