TLS Fallback Attack

TLS Fallback Attack is a security vulnerability that can happen when a client and a server try to communicate using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. Basically, it’s a way for bad guys to trick a secure website into using an older and less secure version of TLS that they can easily attack.

Here’s an example: If you’re trying to connect to a website using TLS 1.2 (which is the latest and most secure version of TLS), but your computer’s browser and the website’s server can’t agree on which TLS version to use, they might “fallback” to using TLS 1.0 (which is older and less secure). The bad guys can exploit the vulnerabilities in TLS 1.0 to steal your sensitive data, like your login information, credit card numbers, or any other private information you might exchange with the website.

So, here’s what you need to remember: always use the latest version of TLS (currently TLS 1.3) and make sure your browser and server are configured to use it. That way, you can protect yourself against TLS Fallback Attack and other security threats.
