At the moment (19. June 18:27 GMT+2) Firefox tells me that GoG is using an invalid security certificate. I've attached a screenshot of the problem. Is anyone else seeing this, and what should I do? Go ahead and add the exception? I didn't want to do that straight away as I'll be transmitting my VISA info to GoG.
Sorry for using the general forum, but accessing my account settings (including technical support) requires that I accept the certificate.

I'm seeing the same thing.

Me too I cannot get into my account on ANY browser, I was just on there like 20 minutes ago and now its blocked.
Prolly site maintenance, I'm off for a beer with the mates while this is being fixed :D

wow, same here

I see it as well.
Posted June 19, 2009
Yep, not working for me either right now. I guess it's best to just wait a bit and see for now since it's the first time it has appeared on gog.
I had the same message on my former school excercise website and used it anyway without anything ever happening so it doesn't really mean it's a bad website when you get that and it might work just fine if you add exception.

Unfortunately, it can also indicate that the site has been hijacked... i.e. caution is recommended.

Which is also why I mentioned it's best to wait for now since it hasn't appeared on gog before. ;)

I noticed this at my work browser (Firefox) as well. Exercising caution for now.

I had just taken advantage of the latest promotion to pick up Painkiller and was in the process of downloading the extras when this happened. If the site has been hijacked, how worried should I be?
Posted June 19, 2009
Probably nothing wrong, maybe the cleaning lady pushed the wrong button on the server and she is trying to fix her mess.

Would recommend caution here as the current certicate status says that the certificate belongs to a different website.

I was about to ask what was up with this. I want to buy the Tex Murphy 1+2 pack (my first REAL purchase here, woohoo!) but I guess I'll just wait. :)

stonebro: Would recommend caution here as the current certicate status says that the certificate belongs to a different website.

Definitely suggest the caution.. the 'different website' is 'localhost.localdomain' issued by the same and it expired on '5/19/2009'... so IF it was hacked, it was done by a fairly inept person who couldn't be bothered to generate an even slightly plausible fake cert.
It also could just be that someone accidentally copied the cert from their testing server over to production and didn't mean to... stuff like that does happen.

I just added a temporary exception to it and it let me into my game list. Looks like the certificate ran out after exactly 1 year on 19/05/09. Which was a month ago. Er, I'm confused. Seemed okay, but I only found this post after accepting it. Oops. Hope nowt goes wrong!
