All day I have been unable to access this site. Worse when I try I get messages it is a 'dangerous website.'

Is anyone else having these issues?

re: Stamp Community Forum

The payment was sent in over 3 weeks ago, the serice provider dropped teh ball.

Folks should keep in mind that the entire 'certificate' or 'https' (secure sockets) thing is largely insignificant. It is meant to give confidence to technically challenged people but anyone who understands what it is knows that it adds very little to security. It is simply an encryption on the communication between your browser and a website server. Since the SCF, or any other site that is not doing financial transactions, offers no interest to most malicious people, there is no reason for them to try to capture the traffic between you and your browser.
But even if it was a website with financial transactions, understand that the communication stream is difficult to capture, it is far easier and more productive to gain access to the server itself. An analogy is like the security of your house, adding a way to encrypt the phone line is meaningless if you do not bother to put locks on your doors or windows, do not have an alarm system, do not have a fence, do not have a mean dog, or do not protect your family with a weapon. The certificate effort was mostly driven by a few large tech companies who are now largely in control.
