Techraptor article about the vunerability

The Tropewiki software still has SSL in it, right? (looks worried)

TV Tropes doesn't have SSL enabled, so it's not vulnerable to FREAK.

That said, the attack is much harder to pull off than most reporting makes it sound. It requires a specific server configuration, a client with a certain bug, and an attacker sitting in between the two.
