Earlier this week Google posted an update about a security vulnerability with SSLv3. The new vulnerability enables attackers to decode encrypted connections.

Google calls this the POODLE (Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption) attack.

Today we are starting the process of disabling SSLv3 support on all of our systems.

Impact: A very small percentage of site visitors with older, out of date browsers may see errors when trying to make a SSL connections. The biggest impact is with Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP or older.

SSLv3 is nearly 18 years old. All modern web browsers support newer, more secure versions of SSL.

You may have heard about a new security flaw called Heartbleed which is being reported about this week. This flaw effects most websites that use SSL encryption and in particular SSL implementations that use OpenSSL. We do not use OpenSSL and our systems are not affected by this security flaw.

We have started deploying the latest update (v4.9). A limited number of customers have access to the updates now, and we will begin phasing in other accounts over time as we monitor the update for any issues.

The chat room feature which is available as an upgrade for all plans has been updated to use the latest HTML5 technology. The previous version of the chat room required that Java be installed in the browser. There are numerous security issues surrounding the use of the Java browser plug-in, so we decided to remove this requirement from the chat room feature.

We have started deploying the latest update (v4.8). A limited number of customers have access to the updates now, and we will begin phasing in other accounts over time as we monitor the update for any issues.

We have finally done something with our facebook page!  We've had one for a while, but we've never used it.  However, we've finally given it the makeover it needs, and are now on the path to using it to keep all our fantastic customers updated with the latest feautres and updates.  So visit our facebook page and 'like' us...and we'll 'like' you right back!
