Website Security Certificate Warning

Anonymous — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 11:55:59 GMT

Just a few minutes ago I manually typed in the link to visit the MyFico website using http://www.myfico.com

After the page loaded I clicked the "login" link at the top of the page and received a warning about the websites security certificate being invalid. I visually checked the link and it was indeed an https link, so I chose the option "proceed to website(not reccomended)" option in Internet Explorer. The login page loaded without incident, but I have no way of knowing what the exact security certificate error was. I'm using IE version 8.0.6001.18702 on WindowsXP Professional Edition with SP3 installed.

Is there something I need to upgrade or change in my version of IE to facilitate downloading/installing an updated system certificate? This is the first time I have ever received this warning and thought I would bring it to your attention.

Thanks --I'm sending this to the admins.

I haven't gotten this warning coming in through Firefox, but I've had it pop up on other sites before, and it can be pretty maddening.

Ditto. I'm running IE8 and had no problems.

I was able to recreate the error. This is the link that is issuing the certificate error:

https://www.myfico.com/SystemAccess/Login.aspx?referer=http%3A%2F%2Fficoforums.myfico.com%2Ffico%2Fboard%3Fboard.id%3Dgeneralcredit

If I click on that link I get the certificate warning every single time. The above link is associated with the "login" link at the top of the page of the actual forum subsection. If you need more info feel free to PM me as I have taken a screen capture of the certificate warning with the above link.

I hope this helps in some way.

For the past few days, I've gotten the same warning using Firefox, both at home and at work. Several months ago this same problem appeared (at least I think it was the same problem), but it either corrected itself or someone behind the scenes fixed it.

The admins have passed it on up the techie chain.

Thanks for letting us know!
