Once again (at time of posting this message) the
Bank Genie website is offline.
Try clicking the link above to see if it has been fixed.
This time its to do with security.
When you visit a website you will see either a padlock (a secure website) or
Not secure just before the the URL address in the address bar.
I went though the (challenging!) process of changing the Bank Genie website to "Secure".
The certificate was for one year.
About a week before expiry, I paid again for the certificate and applied it on my host server. A message came up to say that the provider would change the status within 48 hrs so I could complete the process.
That didn't happen.
As a result, the certificate expired.
In my ignorance, I assumed that the website would simply revert to
Not secure.
Not so
Instead when I tried to open the website it gave this message:
Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.bankgenie.net (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). Learn more
NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID
and the website would not appear
Derek reported a problem that the program "Check for Updates" was not working.
That is also a result of the website failure.
I have reported the problem to my web hosting providers. Lets hope they can get the Bank Genie website working again quickly.
