New TLS decryption attack affects one in three servers due to legacy SSLv2 support

Security researchers have discovered a new weakness that could allow attackers to spy on encrypted communications between users and one in three HTTPS servers. The problem exits because many HTTPS servers still support the old and insecure SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) version 2 protocol.

Researchers scanned the Internet for vulnerable servers that accept SSLv2 connections over certain ports.”]
