562098 - Possible incorrect expired certificate notice for gmail.com or google.com

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Security, defect)

Description

[Liz Compton [:liz]]

Forwarding a report (sent using the form for reporting trademark infringement) that seems to say there's an incorrect expired certificate notice for gmail.com or google.com, though I can't really tell if that's what whoever sent this was trying to tell us. No need to keep me in the loop, I'm just passing this on in case it's something that should be acted on. I can't answer any questions and there's no record of who sent it.

A new violating website report has been submitted with the following information:

http://www.gmail.com

+ Category

thanks for filing, but that message indicates that the repoter's clock was just bad - 2009 is in the past, but this is a "not yet valid" message, so yeah - bad clock.
