I wrote this up once and sent it to this forum but it disappeared somehow. Not showing the problems message but it is showing the other about notifications. Weird!

SOOO, I'll try and repost.

When I did a quick search for Boinc to add this report, the first URL suggested by DuckDuckGo was https://boinc.science/ However, when I clicked on it, FireFox refused to open the page due to - "Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for boinc.science. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.github.com, www.github.com, github.io, github.com, *.github.io, githubusercontent.com, *.githubusercontent.com "

Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

View Certificate"

Don't know if it's a Fishing Attempt (GitHub isn't all that concerned with legal rules) or just a screw up in the certificates but this should be attended to immediately. I have a ton of programs and extensions on Firefox that greatly restricts trackers and cookies to stay as private as I can but this is a new one for me.

What were you expecting to find at boinc.science? It's not one of ours.

A bit of digging deeper, reveals that boinc.science is actually a front for gridcoin. It has genuine links back to this site and to various projects.
