Problem with the APS website
I tried to login to the APS website today, www.antiquephono.org, and I get a "security risk" page on my Mac. It appears that the site's certificate has expired. Just reporting the problem.

Same thing with my PC -- Win 10/Firefox browser:
I checked the status of my PC clock and it's fine.

I just connected with my MAC, using Safari - no problems... It could be your anti-virus software...

Re: Problem with the APS website
Normally, Firefox spits out the screen warning when trying to access a site with an expired certificate. I just tried the link now, and it works, so whatever problem there was has been resolved.

Re: Problem with the APS website
It appears that the security certificate for the site had momentarily expired, causing the issue. I checked again, and it looks like the certificate has been renewed.

This may have been the problem at the time, but since then they were hacked.
