I've just spent ten minutes trying, and failing, to use any Google service. I was being told that their security certificate was not valid and it looked like there could be an attack aimed at stealing my personal data.
The certificate appeared to me to be valid, which just made all look the more alarming.
There was a hint in the warning that these 'attacks' don't always last long and it might be worth just trying again after a while - so, I went off to do a few things that required me to know today's date - so, I looked at the clock in the bottom corner, only to be told that it was the 2nd of November - now, I'm usually confident to within a week and, so, I was suspicious.
It looks like I somehow managed to bugger up the date setting when I adjusted the clock a while ago, because it was a couple of minutes slow.
The start date of the current certificate is the 5th of November, and I presume that's what made it look dodgy...
All is well now.
So far.
