It is fixed now. This is an automatically issued certificate. We do not normally have to manually interfere.
Hopefully at next automatic renewal, it will work as expected. We will work on this issue today with some upgrades and maintenance work.
Next renewal will take place around 22 of July 2018.
For detailed info:
-We use 2 certificates here. One for the
www.piratesglory.com and one for s2.piratesglory.com
-The main one, is renewed manually every 5 years. It is the only certificate that has some actual security reason to exist.
-The s2 one, is renewed automatically every 3 months. This is the one that expired. There is no real security reason to use this. We use this to get rid of the annoying browser warnings.
For extra info on security:
-The most sensitive part on the website, are your custom passwords used during login. What happens then? You send us the password and the email. This is where https is really needed as we need to ensure that no one can intercept this post. Once you send this information, nowhere else your password is used again. We encrypt it and we compare it to the encrypted stored value we keep here. Which means that even if PG is hacked, your password will remain safe.
-So, when the s2 certificate expires, like it happened today, your main risk is to lose access to the Avonmora account due to an attack. To the Avonmora account, not your main account. Which means that your info such as email and credits at account are still safe. Now, whatever an attacker manages to do to your Avonmora account, do not worry. We will set it back.
At all cases, this is something hard to happen so nothing to really worry about.
Cheers
