?FREAK? flaw undermines security for Apple and Google users, researchers discover - The Washington Post
Researchers discovered in recent weeks that they could force browsers to use the weaker encryption, then crack it over the course of just a few hours. Once cracked, hackers could steal passwords and other personal information and potentially launch a broader attack on the Web sites themselves by taking over elements on a page, such as a Facebook “Like” button.
IE on Windows is unsecure, and Chrome and Android browsers are unsecure in Android. Chrome and Firefox seem to be secure in Win 7-8.1. Not sure of Win XP, nothing mentioned.
