Google Chrome to Flag Untrusted Symantec Certificates as Unsafe
Found on eWEEK on Monday, 12 March 2018
Starting with the April 17 release of Google's Chrome 66 browser, all SSL/TLS certificates that Symantec issued prior to June 1, 2016, will be flagged by Chrome as unsafe, as well as those issued by Symantec-owned brands such as Verisign, Thawte and Equifax.
Starting with Chrome 70, all websites with SSL/TLS certificates that Symantec issued after June 1, 2016, will be impacted in the same way. Google will release the First Canary of Chrome 70 on July 20.
That will hit a few webmasters who are not paying attention to their certificates.
