Secure Connection issues
For the past 24 hours + I have been unable to connect to an article via a notification email. I am able to go to seekingalpha.com and access the same article via search on the main site.

This seems to be a problem with security settings on your local computer. Check out this article for some ideas.
Thank you for the suggestion. The advanced "button" shows the following.
email.seekingalpha.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is only valid for *.wdscylla.de.
Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN
I have read the link you sent and others referenced therein, none seem to apply to my situation (I do not have any of the listed program installed on my computer). I will research the *.wdscylla.de.reference above and will contact Mozilla as a follow-up.

I checked the domain of the certificate and it is email.seekingalpha.com.
This wdscylla.de is not found anywhere in the certificate.
If your browser is getting back a different certificate, that means there is some sort of hardware or software between your browser and our server which is injecting its own certificate.
There are a few possibilities off the top of my head:
1) Proxy software
2) Security software
3) Porn filters
4) Developer tools (if you were a developer)
5) Man in the middle attacks (malicious software on your computer)
Hope this helps.

Got this error
