Security Error: Unexpected Certificate Name
Edited on Wed Mar-16-11 03:58 PM by GreatCaesarsGhost
You have attemptrd to establish a connection with progressive.org.However
the certificate presented belongs to progressive.org. It is
possible, though unlikely, that someone may be trying to intercept your
communication with this web site.

If you syspect available below does not belong to progressive.org
please click Cancel button and notify the site administrator


i got the above message when opening the thread "Should Obama be prinaried?"

it came up twice and then i got a pop-up about a poll from

something called "Voicective" (i think that was what it was called)

I didn't inspect the certificate.

I wasn't trying to establish a connection with progressive.org.

Just posting this to see what's up with it.

1. I have something like that happens whenever I'm on Facebook for a while.
FB says it "Safari cannot identify the website "facebook.com"" and that the certificate was signed by an unnamed authority: DigiCert High Assurance CA-3. I have no idea what that means - I just leave FB when that warning pops up rather than clicking anything that says "trust".

I wish I could be of some help. :shrug:

2. I got something similar earlier today
when I tried to log into my account at the public library. Weird.

3. Somebody's probably hotlinking an image
...from that site and that site's SSL certificate is either expired or they haven't attached it to all their domain names.

4. That message usually indicates an expired certificate
;-)
