Https from Symantec? Tens of thousands of websites will find themselves marked as unsafe if they don't stop it certificate HTTPS που χρησιμοποιούν τους επόμενους two months.
Thanks to a decision it made in September, Google stopped considering them safe SSL / TLS published by Symantec.
The decision will apply from mid-April, and the users of the program browsing Chrome users who visit such pages that use security certificates 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.
The change will come with 66 version of Chrome, which will be released on 17 April. But the problem will become even bigger on October 23 when build 70 is released that will recognize all Symantec certificates as unreliable.
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.
So if you are a company, or an organization that uses Symantec security protocols, you will soon have to do something, 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.
