Security Update Reminder: Website Will Not Be Available On Outdated Browsers

HFBLA.com will be disabling support for TLSv1.0 (TLS version 1.0) and TLSv1.1 (TLS version 1.1) effective August 21st, 2020. Once the work is completed the default protocol used will be TLS 1.2 (TLS version 1.2). Here are some helpful things to know:

What is TLS?

TLS is short for ‘Transport Layer Security. TLS is a method of encrypting the connection between two parties (i.e. your computer/device and a website) that communicate over the Internet to keep your data secure. TLS is the updated version of SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and more secure. The term SSL and TLS are typically used interchangeably.
