Can some one please explain this to me...

I don't understand why I keep getting this when I try to go to "my account" to access my purchase history! This has never happened before and It happens on both of my computers now.


This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to store.thesims3.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
Technical Details

store.thesims3.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate expired on 3/13/2011 3:57 PM.

(Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate)

If you understand what's going on, you
can tell Firefox to start trusting this site's identification.
Even if you trust the site, this error could mean that someone is
tampering with your connection.

Don't add an exception unless
you know there's a good reason why this site doesn't use trusted identification.

    I can't explain it but you aren't the only person having this problem.
    I saw 2 threads about it earlier and can't find either.

    I ahve gotten the same "security certificate expired" notice when I try to access my account also. I am no computer whiz but to me it would seem for some reason the store is now a unsecure web site. I hope this does not mean that someone can easily hack our info!!??

    I had sent a notice to the EA help forum and I am waiting for a reply.

    I also have gotten this for about 24 hours. I use Firefox on this site, but for giggles I tried my MSN browser, came back that the certificate had expired. Too bad, I was about to buy more SPs, but I won't do so until EA gets this worked out as it's just not worth the risk...

    I Understand the Risks

    Also getting the same message, have contacted them via email to see if they can sort and refuse to buy more points till they do

    Well I was able to access my purchase history today finally :thumbup: Hopefully this means that the issue was fixed but I still wouldn't feel comfortable buying any Sim points right now, you just never know.
