Both my browsers (Chrome and Safari) report BPL’s SSL certificate as having expired.

If correct, this means we users are vulnerable to security breaches. (User names and passwords being stolen, etc) Given how popular this site is, not a good thing…

Bye for now.

This should be resolved in 24 hours or less.

Technically, it’s not an SSL issue. We had to move servers to a new IP and made the domain switch today, so there will be an interim period for a little bit today (10 minutes to several hours, depending on your DNS) when these warnings pop up.

@rex

No problems now:

And a recently expired SSL certificate still protects user names and passwords as much (or as little) as an unexpired certificate.

It’s just a little less trustworthy.
