Just ran into this issue this morning. The SEC requires companies to file E=
DGAR reports on https://edgarfiling.sec.gov. The newer versions of Firefox =
won't let you access the webpages without manually going into about:config =
and re-enabling the weak ciphers. Given the recent issue with the OPM, I wo=
uld think this would be a very bad follow-up if the SEC got hacked.

SSLLabs gives the website an "F". IE 11 won't work either (for other reason=
s).  https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=3Dedgarfiling.sec.gov

The website looks like it was designed in the '90s. I've tried to reach out=
 to their contacts (webmaster, oig, etc...) but haven't gotten a reply yet.=
 It's possible that I might get a reply eventually, but does anyone have an=
y direct contacts at the SEC?
