The once untouchable internet company, Yahoo continues to lose in a big way. Despite these loses, Verizon is continuing with their plans to buy the tech company.

Once again, Yahoo issued a warning to some of their users that their accounts "might have" been breached. This time it was forged cookies, which allows access to private information without knowing users' credentials.

Cookies are those pieces of code stored by browsers to keep track of whether a user is logged into a password-protected account or not.

Does this sound familiar? Last December, Yahoo made public a separate intrusion resulting impacting more than 1 billion accounts in 2013.

TLS Update

By Ray Valladares • February 23, 2020
The Amazon Web Services that we are using for our client websites have been updated to the latest TLS technologies to keep our customers’ websites fast, secure and modern. Website visitors will now be connecting to the website using TLS 1.3. This improved protocol speeds up the time it takes to connect to the website through a secure connection. If you aren't familiar, TLS stands for Transport Layer Security, which was first released as TLS 1.0 in 1999 and since then, TLS has been the standard of what’s used on the web. TLS 1.3 is a step forward and is the first major industry improvement in over 10 years (TLS 1.2 was released in August 2008). This update is just one of several improvements scheduled for 2020. If your small business is considering updating your website, reach out and contact us , we'd love to hear from you and learn about your business.
