All data that moves between Yahoo’s data centers is now encrypted

In November last year, Yahoo revealed plans to encrypt all information that moves between its data centers by the end of Q1 2014, and it has delivered. As of March 31, traffic between its data centers is fully encrypted, the company announced today. This comes after Yahoo switched on default HTTPS for all users of its Yahoo Mail service in January this year. The company revealed that in the last month, it has also enabled encryption of mail between its servers and other mail providers that support the SMTPTLS standard as well.
