Both Firefox and Chrome make out that this is a fake site, a phishing site or whatever. I had to add an exception to be able to log in to report this. I'm assuming it is a bug rather than an actual security breach.

Yeah, has been happening for me, as well. Not sure what's going on. As you did, I added an exception, but it is certainly concerning.

This only happens to me on the mobile site on my ipod touch using the chrome and safari for ios. Oddly not on my Nexus7.

Hopefully they get it fixed because I kinda like watching Preimum videos and user features.

Even Thunderbird thinks all GB emails "might" be phishing attempts since the site relaunch.

Btw, I've also had the security certificate thing happen to me on the Wii U browser.

@teclo: @truthtellah: @mrmazz: @def: Does this happen on all parts of the site? The login page, etc? Can you post a screenshot? I'll have someone smarter than I take a look at it but at first glance the certificate looks legit. I wonder if for some reason an ad or other external resource is being flagged as being suspicious.

This happens when I try to go to the log in page but nowhere else.

@alexisg: Seems to just be the login page for me. Has been that way since the new site came into effect. It's just the standard security certificate warning that looks similar to this:

@alexisg: It's only the login screen. Once I hit "allow" it goes away.

@alexisg: Happens in https pages. If it helps, the site where I work has been having problems with certificates issued by GoDaddy recently too, despite not having expired. We haven't resolved it yet (low priority, we're not web focused), so I'm not sure, but it might be their side that's causing the issues.

Thanks for all the info and screencaps. Looks like there might be a chaining issue with certain browser and OS combinations. Working with godaddy to have this fixed asap.

Not sure if this is of any use, but a few weeks back, on a machine running XP and Chrome, I put one of my Giant Bomb blog post URLs into a link shortener, and whenever I tried to follow the link that came out of it, it declared the site could not be trusted. Seems like the same issue.

I've been getting the out of date security certificate icon in the url bar for a few weeks now, but just today started getting the red warning screen in Google Chrome telling me auth.giantbomb.com isn't a trusted website.

Pushing a temporary fix... It will happen on other links throughout the website but will eventually be fixed in the next couple of days.

The cert is cached where the policy to refresh is often dictated by individual installs where if nothing else it doesn't bother looking till needs too. I suspect a wave of these are going to hit a bunch of people soon....

I love how chrome's error/warning is the most fear-mongering, way to scare the everyday user for something that happens often (especially on local network resources that generate local certificates).

I thought everyone was getting off the godaddy crap train?

Anyway sounds like the top men need to sort out what domains are tied to what certificates or apply all the domains to a single certificate via SAN (Subject Alternative Names).
