Hi all,

The SSL certificate seems dodgy according to firefox:

>From home broadband:

nexusformat.org uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.
Error code: MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT

>From Diamond network (so Janet):

Someone could be trying to impersonate the site and you should not continue.
Web sites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust www.nexusformat.org<http://www.nexusformat.org> because its certificate issuer is unknown, the certificate is self-signed, or the server is not sending the correct intermediate certificates.
Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER

Has the DNS entry for nexusformat.org been hijacked? Clicking through at home sees the usual site but from work I see:
[Graphical user interface, application, Teams  Description automatically generated]


Who's in charge of the domain name?

Best regards,
Peter
