Well, looks like this will cause pain for many who have been affected.....
Quote:The most popular free certificate signing authority Let's Encrypt is going to revoke more than 3 million TLS certificates within the next 24 hours that may have been issued wrongfully due to a bug in its Certificate Authority software.

This means that Let's Encrypt might have issued certificates that it shouldn't have in the first place, as a result of which it's revoking all the TLS certificates that were affected by the bug.

Affected website owners have until 8PM UTC (3PM EST) March 4 to manually renew and replace their certificates, failing which visitors to the websites will be greeted with TLS security warnings — as the certificates are revoked — until the renewal process is complete.
