Title: Did TradeHill change their SSL certificate?
Post by: BitSense Informatics on August 19, 2011, 05:23:41 AM
Safari is now telling me it doesn't trust the ssl certificate on the TradeHill and my java API application is telling me that it doesn't recognize the Root certificate. I've sent a query to TradeHill tech support but was wondering if anyone else has noticed any issues.

That is concerning, especially since this would be the best time to hack a Bitcoin site (or at least its domain) since everyone in the Bitcoin world is in NYC for the Bitcoin conference. I would advise not logging in until the conference has concluded or we have heard from someone at Tradehill that can be verified. Most likely nothing is amiss, but it's hard to say with all the hackers we have here.

Chrome doesn't say anything about a new certificate, nor that it doesn't trust it. What page to you go to? Front page?

Looks like a new wildcard cert was issued 08/11/2011, 7 days ago...

Cheers,

I get no error. The SHA1 fingerprint of the certificate I get is bf5d728ac70686806c6fe7da2a7f1fe98daf98f1.

I've got the same fingerprint here. -- Looks legit.

Try loading this page:

Do you get a similar error?

At my end Chrome says the SSL certificate is legit but the page contains data that is not loaded in via HTTPS and may be insecure.
This is only when your logged in though.

Good Morning Folks,

We are aware of this issue and working on it today. Basically, the new web server software we're using isn't properly sending the entire certificate chain and therefore some browsers do not trust our certificate. The cause of this was the reconfiguration of our data center that took place yesterday.

Regards,
Adam - Tradehill

That's how customer service is supposed to work.

Ok thanks Adam.  I was hoping nothing was amiss, but just wanted to be extra careful, especially given recent events.

I second that!
Awesome stuff.

Now I hope they will return my email these days. :(
