“Freak” bug taking advantage of Safari and IE

Safari and Internet Explorer are the most vulnerable, even the most up to date versions.  To see if a browser is vulnerable, go to https://cve.freakattack.com/ in that browser.

If you get a VULNERABLE! message, avoid using that browser until the vulnerability is fixed. If you just get an error message, your browser is okay. If you get the VULNERABLE! message in Firefox and Chrome, you can update to the latest versions at www.firefox.com and www.google.com/chrome
