"SSL-Poodle Vulnerability"

Why did this happen?

A device vulnerable to an SSL-Poodle attack is detected in your home network.

What are the possible risks?

This vulnerability allows man-in-the-middle attackers to break network encryption and to intercept, relay, and possibly alter communications between users and devices.

The attacker can read, steal sensitive information (e.g., passwords, financial data, credit card numbers, emails, instant messages, and documents), and can impersonate, intercept or change the content of trusted websites.

This is a HTTPS cryptographic vulnerability, and attackers may be able to decrypt encrypted cipher-text data.

What should I do next?

Make sure your router is updated to its latest device firmware.

Here are some devices that released firmware update:
