Hello all,

When I tried to use Paypal today, a "Security Alert" dialoge box popped up,
displaying the following message:

"The internet site you are about to view uses a certificate that has expired
or is not yet valid. Do you wish to proceed?"

Clicking the "View Certificate" button revealed that their certificate
issued to them by VeriSign Trust Network indeed has expired on 3/12/04
11:59:59 PM.

The cert validity is 3/12/02 - 3/12/04.  Check your system clock, you've got
a few more years to go ;-)

Any chance of a MM/DD/YY vs. DD/MM/YY formatting problem in the date
throwing things off?? I would think not but who knows?

My system clock says april 17th 2002. Could it be a Y2-bug, making the
system think that the certificate was valid until 1904 ?

It seems to be the year. Did anyone else recieve the "Security Alert"
dialoge box while visiting the Paypal site ?

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

Everything fine here running with IE6 on W2K Pro SP2. What OS and browser
version are you using? When did you last apply patches?
