DROWN Attack

DROWN attack is a security vulnerability in computer programs that use SSL/TLS encryption for secure communication. SSL/TLS is used by websites to protect sensitive information during internet transaction such as online shopping or banking. Attackers can exploit the DROWN vulnerability to decrypt the encrypted communication and steal information like login credentials or credit card information.

In simpler terms, DROWN attack is a weakness in the security of the internet that can let bad people steal important information. Imagine you are playing a secret game with your friend, but someone is listening to your conversation and knows your secret code. That is like how DROWN attack works. It listens to the communication between your computer and the website and figures out the secret code to steal your sensitive information.

To prevent this kind of attack, it is important for those who run websites to keep their SSL/TLS encryption up to date and for users to be careful about using unsecured websites or giving out sensitive information.
