    Disable SSL 3.0 to be immune from the POODLE attack

    Info about POODLE threat:
    Wikipedia

    Comodo IceDragon/Mozilla Firefox.
    1) Type about:config into the address bar and enter.
    2) Click the 'I'll be careful, I promise' button.
    3) Type security.tls.version.min into the search bar.
    4) Double click the preference name that appears and change the setting from 0 to 1, then OK to enforce TLS.

    You can now test your new browser setting in the link below.

    Or you can use this:

    More handy.

    ('Till the 34.0 update on Nov. 25th)

    I'm surprised they didn't push an update sooner to disable it. I guess there aren't any attacks being witnessed in the wild yet for them to feel it's a high priority matter. :dunno:

    Was confused, i don't use windows.

    Seems Apple released a patch for us mac users 4 days ago.

    just FYI incase anyone didn't know.

    also you can use this website to see if you are vulnerable.

    No it's a global OS problem with SSL (Secure Socket Layer) 3. However rick mentioned that Apple pushed an update a few days ago.
