judgecorp writes "UK Universities have been found using weak SSL security implementations on their websites. An investigation by TechWeekEurope found 17 of the top 50 British universities scored C or worse on the SSL Labs tool launched by the Trustworthy Internet Movement earlier this year, which grades SSL security. Contacted by the site, most have put upgrades in place to improve security."
Nice tool (Score:5, Interesting)
Our websites were rated at C/D, and our intranet was susceptible to BEAST*. It's also quite handy for advising you on what ciphers to disable. All at A now - it's given me a nice warm feeling inside.
* Yes, I know, BEAST was published in September - I know I'm not worth my salt.
