Are the USChess player profiles hacked or down?

I tried checking my USCF profile and it told me that my data could be leaked, is anyone else having this problem?

Maybe you are on a public wifi or US chess has lost it's security certiificate. I saw the message when I went to go to ratings.

I assume when you try to go to a place like tournament history your getting a connection error, with the server not being secure. That is currently happening to everyone im pretty sure. You were stopped by your security settings so no data for you was leaked unless you chose to continue. It will probably be back up later, just wait for a while.

When I go to advanced it suggest that they lost their certificate. they're a mess right now...

USCF's security certificate expired. How embarrassing. Someone should be fired over that.

I just checked my USCF ratings and no problem, except that they're so much lower than they used to be. :-(

An expired certificate is not a huge deal. The traffic is still encrypted.

Yeah, I just saw that too. Hopefully they get it fixed

Sam issue. Says I can’t open the page bc of no connection to the USCF server.

Actually, looks like it's worse than an expired certificate. It may just be invalid. 🤔

The main pages still work but MSA doesn't.

It's a big deal because it shows incompetence, not because data is compromised.

If you type thisisunsafe and press enter you can bypass the security warnign.

I just went to the site and it seemed fine. I notice the certificate is only a couple of hours old... they probably just fixed it.
