[![logjam vulnerability prtg is safe since october 2014](https://blog.paessler.com/hubfs/header/blog-fallbacks/it-insights.png)](https://blog.paessler.com/logjam-vulnerability-prtg-is-safe-since-october-2014) According to an [Ars Technica article](http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/05/https-crippling-attack-threatens-tens-of-thousands-of-web-and-mail-servers/) this new attack leaves tens of thousands of HTTPS-protected web and mail servers vulnerable. Possible attackers might use this new vulnerability, called Logjam, to downgrade encrypted connections between a user and a web or mail server to 512-bit cryptography, which is weaker and can more easily be decrypted. Since version 14.4.12 (released in October 2014) PRTG Network Monitor is safe. We use unique pre-generated Diffie-Hellman (DH) parameters, which use a 1024-bit key as a default. If you're interested in how you can generate a DH key that is longer than the existing default key in PRTG, please have a look at this Knowledge Base article on ["Modifying Key Length for Diffie-Hellman Parameters"](https://kb.paessler.com/en/topic/64622-how-can-i-generate-a-dh-key-that-is-longer-than-the-existing-default-key-in-prtg). You can test the security of your PRTG server at [weakdh.org](https://weakdh.org/sysadmin.html)—if your PRTG installation is up-to-date, you will receive a similar result as the following: ![logjam_good_news.png](https://blog.paessler.com/hs-fs/hubfs/blog/archive/logjam_good_news.png?width=520&name=logjam_good_news.png)   If you are using a PRTG version older than 14.4.12, please update to the newest PRTG stable release: - **Freeware/PRTG 100/Trial** users: Just go to Setup | Auto Update in the main menu and update your installation for free; - Updating **Commercial Licenses** is just as easy: Please go to Setup | Auto Update in the main menu to update your installation. This update requires an active maintenance contract.
