PHILADELPHIA, June 4 (UPI) -- Reacting to a Google report that said only one percent of emails sent to comcast.net emails were encrypted, Comcast said Wednesday it would encrypt users' emails to prevent snooping.
Comcast, which is the largest Internet provider by number of homes and businesses serviced, said it was testing encryption software and would begin to implement it more broadly within a few weeks. The move comes after Google called out Internet providers for not scrambling emails, the first time the company has divulged such information.
