Browser Security Information

The default security protocol used by certain versions of popular web browsers for submitting credit card information on our webstores is TLS 1.0. TLS 1.0 has been discovered to have vulnerabilities that can make transmission of your sensitive information during checkout unsafe. As a result of these vulnerabilities, we now require browsers that utilize TLS 1.1 or later in order to view and transmit secured information during checkout.

While we know and regret that this update will inconvenience some of our customers, we take seriously our obligation to ensure every measure is taken to protect your account information and financial data from any risks that arise.

What can I do now?

There are options at your disposal to get your system up to speed and prevent any security risks related to outdated TLS. Please see below for some recommendations.

Internet Explorer Security Information

Affects customers using versions of Internet Explorer 10 and earlier:

1. The most reliable and comprehensive way to address the issue is to upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer, which natively runs current TLS.
   
   You can download the latest version of IE at windows.microsoft.com.
2. If you prefer, you can also adjust the settings on your current version of IE by following the steps below. Please be aware that we cannot predict any side effects on other sites that might occur as a result of modifying the TLS on your current browser, and recommend following option 1 at your earliest convenience.
   
   To adjust your current browser settings, go to "tools" and select "Internet Options". Then, go to the "advanced" tab. On the advanced tab, scroll down the list and check the boxes for "Use TLS 1.1" and "Use TLS 1.2" under the heading "Security". Finally, click "apply".
