Twitter Nabs The Two Guys Behind Mobile Security Startup Whisper Systems
The team behind security startup Whisper Systems has been acq-hired by Twitter, they haveannounced on their company blog this gorgeous Cyber Monday morning."We started Whisper Systems with the goal of improving security and privacy for mobile devices. We were attracted to this not only because we saw it as an opportunity to reinvent the security solutions that never really worked in the PC environment to begin with, but also because the stakes are much higher due to the nature of mobile devices themselves and we didn't like the way that things were looking."As Whisper Systems consists of just two employees, Moxie Marlinspike and Stuart Anderson, this has talent acquisition written all over it. In their year of being in the business, the startup has built a variety of encryption products for Android phones and the web including WhisperCore, a product that encrypts all data on your phone and TextSecure, a product that encrypts text messages.
