Google Let Root Certificate For Gmail Expire

Posted by Soulskill on from the happens-to-the-best-of-us dept.

Gr8Apes writes: The certificate for Google's intermediate certificate authority expired Saturday. The certificate was used to issue Gmail's certificate for SMTP, and the expiration at 11:55am EDT caused many e-mail clients to stop receiving Gmail messages. While the problem affected most Gmail users using PC and mobile mail clients, Web access to Gmail was unaffected. I guess Google Calendar failed to notify someone.

    "Google Internet Authority G2" is NOT a root certificate (subject != issuer).
