I keep getting a security warning flashing up when on mumsnet on my phone.
No other websites are affected. It is a black box which says the name on the security cirtificate Is different from on the site.
Can you advise please.

Annoying

Its been going on for ages

linkery · 01/06/2014 22:59

Doesnt it mean that mumsnet is not a secure site?

MatildaWhispers · 01/06/2014 23:01

I have had this over the last few days too, never seen it on mumsnet before that.. Did wonder what has changed.

Hi there,

Could you please let us know what mobiles you're using - iPhone/android/Windows?

We'll get our Tech folk to take a look and post back on here.

Thanks.

I have this- on android, says security certificate expired.
Had it for months, and months though... perhaps 18mo...

nothernexposure · 01/06/2014 23:18

Oo was going to post this too! Been happening for at least a couple of weeks on phone. Using a Samsung galaxy android system. Sorry clueless as to what operating system it is.

starfishmummy · 01/06/2014 23:22

I get it too. Android phone on mobile site.
I got the option to look at the certificate so did but can't remember what it said!!
Will let you know what if it happens again!!

I am also getting some pop up ads at the top for Postman Pat film. Don't know if they are connected

hashtagwhatever · 01/06/2014 23:55

I get that too. It says that I am on a untrusted site I can view certificate or continue.

I am on a Samsung galaxy too.

Auriga · 02/06/2014 00:01

I've been getting these just in the last few days. Samsung galaxy android on the mobile site (not the app, I could never get that to work).

AryaOfHouseSnark · 02/06/2014 08:51

Please make sure the date and time on your device is correct. This is a known problem on android devices if their date time is not correct. If you still have problems please do post again.

Mine is a Samsung galaxy ace 2. The only pop I've had is like the one on left of the 3 screen shots shown above.
