Google Chrome is distrusting Symantec certificates. This means after the deadline, anyone using Google Chrome to wikis with old certificates will get "Untrusted certificates" warning upon connect. We need to make sure crats are aware of this threat and help transitioning. Firefox is also following the same way.
Rough timeline:
Date | Action |
---|---|
2017-12-01 | DigiCert (who bought Symantec's TLS business) should be able to provide new certificate for the old site. |
2018-03-15 | Chrome v66 beta released, which will distrust certificates issued before 2016-06-01. None in Miraheze fleet. |
2018-04-17 | Chrome v66 to stable. |
2018-05-01 | Firefox v60 released to Stable, distrusting certificates issued before 2016-06-01. |
2018-09-23 | Chrome v70 to beta, completely killing old Symantec certs. |
2018-10-16 | Firefox v63 to stable, completely killing old Symantec certs. |
2018-10-23 | Chrome v70 to stable. |
As far as I can see, only certificates affected by this is savage-wiki.com, which is expiring by 2020-12-04.
