    Default Is godaddy being hacked?

    When I try logging in with firefox I get a security certificate error and it says godaddy.tv IE 7 warns me also before going to the page.

    Everybody is always being hacked, hopefully unsuccessfully. Security certs are sometimes cumbersome and/or expensive to maintain though, they may have just let theirs lapse. If they don't intend to maintain it any longer, they should remove it completely. I'd send their webmaster a note about it, if it were a site I used much.

    The security certificate probably expired.

    Ya I was worried to login to my account because I thought they got hacked. I dont think they would of forgotten something that important seeing how modern browsers respond to that. IE7 wouldnt even show godaddy it just asked me if I still wanted to go to the site and they didnt recommend it. I'll ask them what happened and let you know what happened. Thanks for the responses and happy new year.
