An updated version του Sophos Web Appliance κατάφερε να "ρίξει" χιλιάδες υπολογιστές χρηστών, και να βγάλει offline για δύο μέρες το αυστραλιανό τηλεφωνικό κέντρο μιας παγκόσμιας companys. The reason for the disaster was that the security company revoked the SSL 3.0 encryption algorithm used in Citrix Receiver.
The British security company with the release of 4.0.2.3 update last week tried to correct four non-critical issues of SSL 3.0.
However, this update was the cause of the disaster that followed, as it was incompatible with Citrix Receiver's recent releases. The new Citrix had been updated to repel attacks with POODLE.
The company from Australia as we mentioned above came out except λειτουργίας για δύο ημέρες - και συνεχίζει να παρουσιάζει problems με διακοπές - αφού η ενημερωμένη έκδοση εμποδίζει τους φορείς να έχουν πρόσβαση σε μια πύλη που απαιτείται για την αποστολή-κρίσιμων καταχωρήσεων.
The Australian company manager reported that Sophos did not warn them about the recall of SSL 3.0 and took 24 hours to respond to a support e-mail, according to He Reg.
The Sophos update should normally have been designed and coordinated in advance, according to the manager.
