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.
How bad is this? Should I wait with payments until their certificate is
valid again? Has someone of our comunity reported this to Paypal already?

Hmmm. I just visited Paypal on a PC with newly installed Windows, and got the
same problem.

The actual problem relates to Verisign's cert - it expires 25 oct 2011, but
it's parent CA cert expires 8 jan 2004. Wonder if Verisign knows this?

As someone pointed out, though, all the cert does is verify that the site is
run by who they say they are - all transfers are still encrypted if it's https.
