News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Techcrunch

Techcrunch is getting Domain Name Mismatch error, while accessing over HTTPS. As Wordpress is sharing SSL certificate with techcrunch but the certificate is only valid for *.wordpress.com

Huge name like Techcrunch should get their own certificate to protect traffic. Earlier, if certificate has been issued on www.domain.com and if someone try to access https://domain.com (without "www"), in this case approacher may get this error. But now major CAs are offering both www and non-www protection with single certificate.

In case of CA root/chain/intermediate certificate has not been installed, approacher may get such error. Website owner should install certificate properly to resolve this error.

Better get right on that. I wouldn't want any person sniffing my network to see the http content of the article I am reading.
