Login Warning

[kteaguenotloggedin]

Anybody besides me getting a security certificate warning when trying to log in? Is it safe to proceed with login?

Yes, I got it as well. I looked at the certificate. It expired today so i would assume that cpap.com is in the process of renewing. I felt that it was safe to allow my computer to provide an exception and entered the site

Yes, I got it through FireFox not long ago.
It is safe. They did something with the servers again last night. Apparently the site security stuff is being flagged as out dated.
Looks like it may have also affected some people's ability to log in also. I saw that chunkyfrog was having trouble.

All I did was tell Firefox I knew what I was doing and the site is okay and added it as an exception so it wouldn't bug me about it anymore.

I finally got brave and proceeded in spite of the scary message.
Apparently I.T. is not screwing around with my head--not today, anyhow.

Thanks for the input. I'm connected to a network with numerous servers and users so I certainly didn't want to be responsible for the fall of the empire.

I was glad to see this thread. I got the same message and wasn't sure how to proceed. After reading here, I just clicked on... allow exception.

I'm in IT and these warnings are the kind of "protection" racket that would make Jimmy Hoffa spin in his grave underneath the bleachers in Giants stadium.

Hmm, I'm not having trouble logging in but I did receive a PM in my email and when I clicked it to open, my security popped up and warned me not to open it! So whoever sent me a legit PM and did not get a reply it's because I was too chicken to open it and just deleted it.

As of this moment. Chat is down as well. I think some cpap IT guys are in Australia, and I guess they are working on things.

Can't fault them for being careful--electricity can be a real health hazard.

It's an expired certificate. SSL certs are only valid for a period of time (usually 1-2 years), so they reach a date when they "expire". If they didn't expire, somebody stealing it could use it illegitimately to appear to be the site forever.

It's something to be aware of and think about carefully, and making sure expired is the ONLY error. It means it was valid but is just old. Probably safe on a legitimate site.

I was in an IT dept with a large firm... I concur with this.

I vote we take up a collection for extra coffee for Johnny and his crew.
They may be up late.

Unless somebody is conspiring to "get" the HOSERS.
