skydiverbry 0 #1 September 6, 2012 Hey computer geeks!!! I need help!!!!! When I tried to sign on to my yahoo e-mail I get an "Untrusted connection" error message. This is both Firefox and IE gives the same message. Should I override and add an exception or wait till it clears up? Thanks.

skydiverbry 0 #3 September 6, 2012 I've got a few personal documents that I'd like to keep that way. Is there a danger of someone being able to access my files? What exactly does this message mean?

Sometimes that's because it expired, sometimes it could mean it's been compromised."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theonlyski 8 #7 September 6, 2012 QuoteThanks ski!!! No prollem Also, it could be a missmatch on the name... IE: the certificate is for "www.yahoo.com" but you're getting it while accessing "mail.yahoo.com"."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowwhite 0 #8 September 7, 2012 We had that same problem last week. Changed password and got in. Tonight we got a notice that our retirement fund had been transfered on Tuesday. Tomorrow we follow thru. Scarey. Check all of your accounts.skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomorrow we follow thru. Scarey. Check all of your accounts. DNS spoofing and such is a very real and possible explanation. Yet another reason I run my own DNS server that only forwards to DNS servers that I trust (after blocking all the ad servers).
