Yep.

If you're on Chrome you must edit the Shortcut and add in Target:

--ssl-version-min=tls1

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.

 

so is this just a windows problem?

 

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.
