wots happening ?

after signing in to yahoo e mail for 12 years, suddenly I find I cant get in there

I sign in.... hit mail...

then this comes up...........

ou have asked Pale Moon to connect
securely to us-mg4.mail.yahoo.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.



What Should I Do?

If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.



Theres a yeallow traffic warden type icon on the page
This is crazy, Ill have to go over t o firefox to sign in !

Make sure the date and time on your computer is correct.

An incorrect date and/or time can cause this; I know because the battery in my son's computer was dead and every time I unplugged his computer, and plugged it back in, the date would be about 5 years off, and I'd get the same message on secure connections, until I corrected the clock/date.

One more thing, under "What Should I do?" should be more information under the sub-heading (or button) "Technical Details." It would help to know what it says there.

BTW, if you can log in with Firefox, that just proves it's less secure than Pale Moon.
