lungbing Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I can load my bank's home page, http://www.nationwideinternational.com but when I click on the "Log on" button on the left of that page I get a "Secure Connection Failed" message from Firefox. I can successfully logon to my Kasikorn bank which is a https: site. Anybody else having problems? Firefox 37, Windows XP, Panda anti-virus Fortunately I am registered for telebanking so I used that this time. It worked, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Works for me. Try a different browser. Restart your router and your PC. Check that the time/date is correctly set on your PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven100 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 It could be the bank's server problem ... try later .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 or, it could be malware hijacking an SSL certificate, or a DNS hijack. Be very careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I don't have Firefox on my computer, but the logon page appears just fine using Chrome or IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) There was an 'end of life' for certain cipher suites which kicked in during a recent firefox update. It affected Firefox SSL connections, especially on old OS versions. The effect is to disable SSL if it's not secure enough for you. Firefox made this decision for you. Try Internet Explorer, that might work. Edited March 3, 2015 by ukrules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lungbing Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 OK, thanks everybody. I've just downloaded Opera and it has no problem getting to the Nationwide International login page. So Firefox is the problem. I like its addons too much to ditch it over this one problrm. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might disable your addons temporarily and see if one may be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be because you appear to be using a BETA version of Firefox i.e. 37 which hasn't yet been approved by your bank. The current version of Firefox version is 36 and I can access the login page you mentioned using that version without a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazey Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Hello OP - tried to give advice (three times), but half my post is not being submitted....odd. Edited March 3, 2015 by phazey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could that be your problem? It is definitely an add-on. Alternative. I use IE or Opera. I hate all those google updates and privacy issues with Google Chrome.

lungbing Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 When I have a moment I'll try Firefox without all the addons. I confirm I am using a beta version, 37, but otherwise no problem has shown itself. I'll also try dropping back to the latest official released version. But Opera is fine and I can use that when necessary. I don't use Ghostery although I have done in the past. Thanks again for the input gentlemen.

lungbing Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Xircal is correct. It was running the beta 37 version of Firefox that was causing the problem. I tried version 37 beta with no addons and it had the same fault, so it wasn't an addon problem Overloaded beta 37 with the official latest version, 36, and everything's fine. I just hope that when 37 is officially released it doesn't cause this problem again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Use Chrome and click on the locker symbol. Read the text on the "Connection" tab. All clear? This nationwide server uses bloody outdated TLS 1.0 and other shortcomings! (one of the worst I have seen) EDIT: Kasikorn is similarly bad.t uses TLS 1.0, RC4 128 bit. I explicitely disabled this for Firefox. One can not really accuse Firefox 37(?) that it (by default) disables such insecure connections. Guess there is a way to force FF to accept such crap (some "about:config" stuff). But too lazy to Google. Footnote: my FF 35 installation accepts the connection. Bad as it may be.

ukrules Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Someone might find this page useful : https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=olb.nationwideinternational.com Their grading system (F for this bank) is a little controversial as some of the exploits they mark you down for can only really be carried out by someone with direct access to your PC communications via malware or the backbone infrastructure - someone like an ISP or government for example.

KhunBENQ Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) You were quicker! The results for nationwide are really bad. A bank that is way behind in taking care for online security. Conspiracy theory: they are not allowed to implement better security/ciphering. You know what I mean. There are always certain people who want to monitor your transactions Way better: Bangkok Bank https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=ibanking.bangkokbank.com Siam Commercial (SCB): https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=scbeasy.com Kasikorn, much better than nationwide but lacking behind Bangkok and SCB: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=online.kasikornbankgroup.com Edited March 4, 2015 by KhunBENQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Pretty neat...I ran the test on one of my U.S. banks (USAA Bank) and got an A+ rating. https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=usaa.com&s=23.203.232.26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
