I was using paypal and everything else appeared to be ok, so I went ahead and added the exception. Since you don't actually enter any identifying info until you hit paypal and that was authenticated securely, no information is given to GOG but a transaction ID. As everything went through smoothly, I think this was just an honest error. But I'd be glad if they'd acknowledge/fix it...

If they don't fix the site in time I hope they extend the promo, I'm waiting to buy Ghost Master :P
[Edit: Never mind, didn't see Oldskis post. gl GOG :)]

What it basically does is that it assures that you are dealing with the real GOG site, that way you can be confident when doing transaccions. At least that is what i understood when i had to make a little research on the security certificates subject.

It registers that who is initiating the secure connection is who you think it is. There are multitudes of examples of people doing it wrong or not registering it because of the fact that it costs money to do so.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security
Don't read that in a paranoid mood though- it really bursts bubbles when it comes to knowing what the browser actually authenticates. But for general usage, its decently secure.

That's great. And thank you. But can you officially comment as to whether our accounts are safe and if we are free to buy any games etc?

fixed atleast for me

Fixed for me too

Yep, fixed for me too.

Confirmed. Issue is gone. Now what happened?

It was a rat in the rotor. Damn thing messed up all the wiring.

I'm glad it's fixed, but It'd still be nice to actually know what happened, or at least that our information is completely safe and that it was just a brief admin error. If it was a hack, that's definitely something I'd like to know about.

I'm sure its nothing to panic about. I guess I missed it as I just bought painkiller with no warnings at all.

Cool. All is well in the land of GOG again. :)
