[On October 14th, 2014, Google engineers disclosed a vulnerability in an older encryption protocol called SSLv3. Users of older web browsers that use this protocol exclusively, such as Internet Explorer 6, are exposed to possible "man-in-the-middle" attacks. In addition, more recent browser versions that use more modern encryption protocols such as TLS are not exempted, as these browsers may be forced to fall-back to using SSLv3 by an attacker.]

Internet Explorer /IE 6 vulnerable.. update or use another browser if you still use IE 6
[Microsoft issued an advisory about the POODLE attack on Tuesday but didn’t announce any specific plans for disabling the protocol in Windows or Internet Explorer. IE 6, an ancient version of the company’s browser, is the only major browser that doesn’t support anything newer than SSLv3.] http://threatpost.com/browser-vendor...-attack/108852 Best Free Web Browsers Updated 13.
