Untrusted connection

Recommended Posts

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.

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?

Thanks,

Bry

It generally means that the certificate doesn't match the site. Sometimes that's because it expired, sometimes it could mean it's been compromised.

Thanks 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".

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.



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). :)
