screen) on certain ii screens, when I'm logged in to the site. It seems to be screens that start "secure.ii.co.uk/" (eg "Free regular investing"), while others (such as "Investments" - "www.ii.co.uk/secure/investments") are OK.

It looks like they've reorganised, and forgotten to change some screens (I had the initial login screen bookmarked as "secure.ii.co.uk/webbroker2", and that gets the security error too, but their home page points to "www.ii.co.uk/login", and that works fine, delivering the same screen, so I just updated my bookmark). But if their internal links are hosed, this is a significant problem.

Now working OK, half an hour later. URLs aren't changed, so I suspect they had a security certificate they had let lapse.

    It seems to be a configuration problem, rather than a certificate problem. The odd thing is that secure.ii.co.uk and ii.co.uk are covered by two different certs issued by different authorities (one by Digicert and the other Amazon). There's no sign that a certificate has lapsed, looking at the dates, so they are *probably* in the process of migrating the whole site from one issuing authority to another.
