I'm running a firefox plugin called certpartol which alerts me to unusual ssl cert changes.
The existing cert signed by GeoTrust, Inc. wasn't set to expire until 2016-07-19 02:17:12. The new cert is signed by DigiCert Inc.
I just want to make sure this is an intentional change and not a fake cert.
I took a screenshot of the certpatrol warning @ http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/8463/screenshot20111220at953.png
It's legitimate. The certificate was changed last week to a new one which also supports *.m.wikipedia.org
Platonides explained it perfectly :) You will also notice a change in the near-ish term future when we switch to a cert with a different certificate.
I have now installed Certpatrol -- awesome plugin!
