Like breaking TLS cert validity date checks.

Though, I suppose if some website hasn't migrated off Flash by 2020, it's probably reasonably likely to also be in the subset of websites that haven't implements https by now as well...

Ah, yes, I remember I have facepalmed big time when I did run into it ~1 year ago.

I'm wondering if the IT team which produced that pice of software is gone since years.

Edit: I somehow missed that my spell checker replaced "have facepalmed" with "gave poisoned"...
