Update on PayPal’s Discontinuation of Support for SSL v3.0

PayPal has released an update regarding their discontinuation of support for SSL v3.0 due to the POODLE vulnerability. They have found a short-term solution that will allow continued support of most of SSL 3.0 until 1/12/2015 at 12:01 PST. PayPal’s revised statement can be read in full here. However, versions that are vulnerable to POODLE will still be discontinued on 12/03/2014 (tomorrow). This grants a small reprieve for a certain number of people that would otherwise be affected tomorrow. For more information on this issue, please refer to our previous blog post.

As always, if you need support due to this issue, please contact us.
