I am, however, familiar with the last issue, the lack of Perfect Forward Secrecy (aka Forward Secrecy, PFS, FS). I don't know enough about the lack of secure renegotiation to know how serious a problem it is. It was issued by Symantec and they were found to be untrustworthy. Of lesser import is the fact that the certificate needs to be replaced in a few months. It may even be illegal for a bank to sill use SSL version 3. To put this in context, see the first image above of South Central bank bragging that it only supported the secure TLS version 1.2. As for old buggy protocols, First National Bank scores a rare trifecta, in that it also supports TLS 1.0 and 1.1. Imagine renting a model T Ford on your next visit to Hertz. Security Evaluation of the First National Bank of Pennsylvaniaīeginning with the worst, the site supports SSL version 3 which is such a disgrace it's hard to put into words. The report below is for the online banking domain/website. I ran the Qualys SSL Server Test on it to see what the problem was - and it turned out there were multiple problems, shown below.Īs with the prior bank, this one also uses multiple domain names. Chrome on Windows would not display the online banking site at all, warning that "Your connection is not private." The site worked fine in Firefox. The second bank was First National Bank in Pennsylvania. If I lived in Kentucky, I would use a different bank. That the South Central bank website is copyright as of 2015 (scroll to the bottom), is just another sign that there is no one home. Need further proof? The websiteĭoes not even exist. A Whois search shows that the name is registered to "Domain Manager" which clearly shows that the people behind do not want to identify themselves. The South Central website fails to notify their customers that control over their online banking is being handled by someone else. On the flip side, knowing these warnings are being introduced will hopefully encourage more developers and website owners to invest their time ensuring any web forms they use submit the information contained in the form securely.How can this be? When you open an online banking account with South Central bank, you don't do it at Google can't really do much more than visually warning the user twice. If by that point the user hasn't realized it's risky to use the form, then the blame lies with them for continuing.

Then, if the user begins to fill out the form manually, a warning text box will appear "alerting them that the form is not secure." If the user continues anyway and attempts to submit the form, "they will see a full page warning alerting them of the potential risk and confirming if they’d like to submit anyway." When a mixed form is detected, Chrome will disable the Autofill feature so you don't automatically fill it with personal information. There's no easy way for the user to tell if the submission process is secure before filling out the form and submitting it, but Chrome 86 will know and can warn the user. The problem being tackled is known as "mixed forms." That's the term used for when a user is presented with a web form served using a secure HTTPS link, but when the form is filled in and the user clicks the button to send it, the submission happens using an insecure (non-HTTPS) connection. In a post on the Chromium Blog (Opens in a new window), Shweta Panditrao from the Chrome Security Team has announced that Chrome 86 is introducing more security around web forms. We've all become used to websites utilizing HTTPS, especially as browsers pop-up warnings for non-HTTPS web pages, but Chrome version 86 is going a step further and targeting web forms.
