SSL / TLS from Symantec? change certificates directly

Https from Symantec? Ten thousand will find themselves marked as insecure if they don't stop the HTTPS certificate they're using in the next two months.

Thanks to a decision made in September, Google will no longer consider SSL / TLS issued by Symantec safe. Symantec

Η απόφαση θα ισχύει από τα μέσα Απριλίου, και οι χρήστες του προγράμματος περιήγησης Chrome που επισκέπτονται τέτοιες σελίδες που χρησιμοποιούν πιστοποιητικά issued before June 1, 2016 or after December 1, 2017, by Symantec, will be warned by the browser that their connection is not private and that their information can be intercepted.

Η it will come with Chrome version 66, which will be released on April 17. But the problem will become even bigger on October 23 when build 70 is released which will recognize all Symantec certificates as untrusted.

Of course, not everyone is using Chrome and they are not all upgraded directly to the latest version. But as we do, websites using HTTPS from Symantec will have problems.

Έτσι αν είστε κάποια εταιρία, ή ένας οργανισμός που χρησιμοποιεί πρωτόκολλα of Symantec you should do something soon, so you do not get exposed.

Symantec, meanwhile, claims that only 127 certificates were issued incorrectly, not the 30.000 originally announced. But a few months after the revelation of the "wrong" certificates and after the insistence of Google, Symantec sold the certificate department to DigiCert.
