    Take away the technicalities and ask yourself whether you wish to bank with a company that allows such mishaps to occur ?

    I know what my answer would be.. ;)

    Not quite right there either, BU.

    If you knew anything about X500, DNS and hacking then you'd be agreeing with me.:confused:

    I am not going to go in to detail in a public forum. I've done my bit and tried to warn people off using any site with any certifiacte issue. It's down to you if you heed that advice.

    I fail to see what DNS has got to do with security certificates, given that the security certificate is installed on the web server, not the name server.

    An expired security certificate of a day old or so isn't that much of an issue. Even so it still even happens to the big boys. I remember HSBC's doing the same a few months back.

    Looks like the saying 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing' has kicked in.

    Your naivety is potentially going to land people in trouble.

    Let's agree to disagree. I'll stick to my day job, you stick to yours.

    You're not a certain retired boxer who's just been on Celebrity Jungle are you?

    Next thing you'll be telling us all ticks will kill us...

    Not that you're entirely wrong, just that you're beginning to sound like a pantomime dame.

    You can get these certificate warnings (which are nearly always genuine) even in the middle of Microsoft.com websites.

    Just wait if it worries you.
