ive recently moved house and bought another modem/new internet connection. updated firefox and now getting "insecure connection" errors every time i go to open netflix and a few other HTTPS sites. ive googled it and tried everything - clock settings, cleared caches' etc etc but all to no avail. its on a mac laptop - also up to date. i run ghostery, but thats it - nothing else. its saying its a "SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN" issue.any help would be greatly appreciated - i'm not very tech savvy at all, so please talk in basic terms. please help.cheers,luke.
thanks fred - i tried a few of these, but all to no avail. i ended up calling my internet provider and after some time, they also couldnt isolate/identify the actual issue. i then went on to call the apple help line. solved. the bloke suggested i clean out the cache/cookies in safari - i can never recall using safari. however it fixed the issues with firefox, and surprisingly the "offline" issues ive had with spotify. there was some kind of 3rd party/malware blocking some of these sites.its got me stumped how it worked, but its all sorted now.
I contacted netflix and it is not them. If I cannot get this fixed I am going to remove this browser. What a pain?! I love mozilla but this is crazy. I tried some of the other things about this insecure connection and it has not helped....SOMEONE HELP ME
hello, first please make sure that the date, time & timezone are set correctly on your system. if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a solution depends on the individual circumstances:
www.netflix.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. The server might not be sending the appropriate intermediate certificates. An additional root certificate may need to be imported. Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER
Ok...My computer will not let me use malwarebytes but I did the adwcleaner. Once finished I restarted my computer and I was able to log on but then I closed the browser and tried again and I got the same message as before....Insecure connection.
please see if you get the other two recommended malware removal tools to run when you start your computer into windows safemode (with networking enabled): -to-boot-into-safe-mode-on-windows-8-the-easy-way/
A phishing site was found using a spoofed Netflix page to harvest account information, credit card credentials, and other personally identifiable information (PII), according to a twitter post by PartnerRe Information Security Analyst Andrea Palmieri. We looked into the malicious site, hxxp://secure-up-log.com/netflix/, to learn more about the operation and found that the sites have geolocation features.
Over the past few, we have seen other phishing campaigns that similarly use Netflix as bait; some threats even reference the Covid-19 outbreak at the same time. As people are spending time in quarantine due to coronavirus pandemic, video streaming platforms such as Netflix have become one of the most popular means to pass the time. Cybercriminals are taking advantage of this by using these apps to deceive unwitting users for phishing and other social engineering schemes.
Phishing sites seek to harvest sensitive information from victims. As they copy the user interface and spoof the website names, these malicious pages can be tricky to tell apart from legitimate log in sites. Below are some ways to avoid these threats:

Netflix has laid off some of its staff, many of them recently hired women of color. They were working on the streaming service's new fan-focused website, Tudum, named for the sound of the Netflix logo.
Tudum launched in December to take fans "behind the"streams," with articles about shows and films streamed on Netflix. For example, the site recently featured a story on the toddlers in the Japanese reality show Old Enough! There was a story with a "scoop" about the final episodes of Frankie and Grace, and a rundown of who's crushing on whom in the teen series Heartstopper. Tudum also included a story about the history of the food in Bridgerton Season 2, and another highlighting the show's slow-burn romantic moments.
Some fans are just learning now about Tudum, complaining Netflix didn't do much to promote the website. And some of the writers and editors who lost their jobs were told the layoffs were part of Netflix's plan to restructure its marketing department. The news comes shortly after announcements that the streamer has lost subscribers, and that its stocks took a nosedive.
When asked about the layoff, a spokesperson for Netflix wrote, "Our fan website Tudum is an important priority for the company."
The site is still up, but one team of 10-12 writers and editors were laid off. They worked on the culture and trend section of Tudum. They are experienced journalists who previously worked for Vulture, Vice, Teen Vogue and The New York Times. Some were book authors or had their own pop culture podcasts. Most, if not all of the team were Black, Latinx or Asian women.
"They went very out of their way to hire high level journalists of color who have quite a bit of name recognition and a lot of experience and talent. In some ways, they were just buying clout to lend credibility to their gambit," one member of the team told NPR, just hours after being let go. The member said they had signed a non-disclosure agreement when hired and so did not want their name used.
Everyone on the team had been recruited by Netflix with promises of editorial independence, exclusive interviews with Netflix talent, and secure, well-paying jobs.
It seemed like a dream job at first, they said, working with a diverse staff for good pay and loads of resources and opportunities.
"We were courted pretty aggressively. They sold us on the most amazing thing that you could want as a culture journalist or entertainment journalist. They just sold something that seemed impossible anywhere else," they said. "But the biggest selling point was the pay."
But in the short time the website has been around, they said the vision and the strategy changed. "They started tightening up little by little. And then just it became clear. It's a content marketing job, essentially. That would have been fine if from the get-go they made that clear."
Instead of being able to write about anything they wanted concerning Netflix content, they were told not to say anything deemed controversial, even if it was the subject of a documentary, for example. And any mention of films that aren't in the Netflix library were deleted from the site.
"They created a very jargony corporate environment in which everything is extremely positive. So instead of saying, 'No, don't do that,' they say, 'Do you think that's something we should be doing?' " they said. "Still, I'm really proud of a lot of the stories that were done under even those sort of tight parameters that were set and that constantly moved. A lot of great work was done because they hired extremely talented people. And so this more than anything reads as a lack of investment into a project that they didn't properly plan for or properly set up."
The writers and editors were full time or part time, on contract or on staff, and say they had no notice before losing their jobs. They were offered just two weeks of severance pay.
"People upended their lives for this," the ex-Tudum worker says, noting that just last month, many had been given promotions.
Now they're scrambling to find new jobs, sending out tweets asking for employment.
This isn't the first streamer to lay people off in the past week; something similar happened with CNN+, though in that case, it wasn't just one team, but the entire new streaming service.
