No, I'm not talking about getting attacked by a cute curly puppy.... I'm talking about the P.O.O.D.L.E. security vulnerability discovered in SSL 3.0 (the encryption method some web sites may use to encrypt and protect your personal information).... The good news is, there is a simple way to test if your web browser is vulnerable to this type of attack. Simply go to https://www.poodletest.com If you find that your browser is in fact vulnerable, you can follow the steps at https://www.winhelp.us/news/144/207/How-to-protect-browsers-from-SSL-3-POODLE-attacks.html to change your browser configuration so that it will no longer be vulnerable to a POODLE attack.
