Quotemonster Information Security Bulletin – Site SSL Certificate Chain Update

This is our ninth information security bulletin, about a recent update to a Certificate Authority (CA) that we use on www.quotemonster.co.nz.

One of the certificate authorities, Let’s Encrypt, who we use on Quotemonster has announced a series of changes in its chain of trust over the coming weeks. Realistically, this will only affect some of the older devices, users of Android 7.0 or earlier. As of December 2022, only 4% of devices ran on Android 7.0 or earlier, this is likely to have reduced even more over the last few years, so we are confident that most of our users will not experience any disruptions when trying to access Quotemonster via a mobile device. However, some may still use these devices, and an easy way to resolve any error messages that you receive regarding Trusted Settings is to install and use Firefox Mobile.

We appreciate your understanding and support, both now and in the years to come as we provide safe and secure communication to everyone who uses Quotemonster.
