Rackspace Control Panel SSL Certificate Is Invalid (rackspace.com)

Seems wild to me that such an important service, run by an infrastructure company, would have an invalid SSL cert on their control panel (as reported by Chrome).

Does anyone know what might have happened here? I have no idea if it's safe to log into the control panel right now.


Literally every major infrastructure company has accidentally let a SSL cert expire. Google, Microsoft, Apple, Cisco, etc. etc.


This one isn't expired though (June 2015). Either they cheaped out, or misconfigured, or there's some kind of MITM attack going on.


It's possible that one of their intermediate certs expired. This caught Google a couple months back.
