Facebook Warns That The Internet Could Get A Lot Less Secure
The end of the SHA-1 security algorithm, which expires in early 2016, could block access to encrypted sites on older web browsers.

Its successor SHA-256, however, will only be able to provide secure connections on more up-to-date browsers.
