Buying online? Check your browser security for the 'Freak exploit'

It only affects online purchases - https traffic is not secure if your browser fails the test.

Thanks Rolygate, Opera browser passed the test!

Mine passed. It wouldn't open the page
Probably the only time I was happy about that

Dang, mine failed with the latest version of Chrome and thats a bit scary since I do most of my stuff online including shopping.

Mine loaded with the word VULNERABLE! on a blank white page

Safari.

Safari is noted as a vulnerable browser.
Ideally, you get an "Error" trying to connect to the page.

I haven't tried with my iPad, but I'm not worried there. I don't do any online shopping on that. Only with my desktop computer.

...., Windows 7 has a vulnerability on all browsers.

AND I've been spending online like crazy the past few days -_-


Never mind, it's because I'm using Avast.

It's the only thing I have. Everything is Mac here, eight of them, since 2007. So what should I do?

I don't know
See if there is a patch?

I don't know if you are reading his other thread on this.

Possible to see if there is an updated version of Safari?

Let us know what they come back with

Safari is supported on Apple but unsupported on Windows any more. That means it should probably be uninstalled from Windows as it's not secure.

I have no PCs, no windows. It's all Apple Mac here.

Safari, Macbook Air ~ clicked the link, says: VULNERABLE! on a white blank page. Reported to Apple, the whole concept / episode with links, waiting to hear from them.

Firefox and Chrome both failed to load it for me on Win7 but I have Norton running as well.

Bumping this for the late afternoon crowd. It's important.

Apple is supposedly pushing a fix sometime next week. Until then, NO SHOPPING FOR YOU!

My IE 11 "failed", so no vape purchases for me for a while.
