(Vanity) Possible DOS attacks?

Is anyone else seeing issues with Internet sites right now? I just had both LinkedIn and Reddit give me the following message:

Safari can't open the page "here the link is spelled out in the message unique to the site I was trying to get to". The certificate for this site is invalid. You might be connecting to a server pretending to be "again the site here" which could put your confidential information at risk.

I was using long saved bookmarks and also tried to type in the addresses manually but got the same thing. Possible another DOS attack similar to last week is going on?

Just wondering - sorry for the vanity.

Try using/testing with Tor browser. If you can’t get their with Tor, then it’s related to your connection.

Same thing on that link - this is weird - FR is ok but not these other sites.

The certificate for this site is invalid.

This is not a Denial of Service attack.

The SSL certificate for the site is invalid. It might simply be an expiration of the certificate. Or, it might be an oversight by the operator, who installed the wrong certificate on the server.

The remote possibility is that someone spoofed your DNS server, to direct you to a different site.

But, the more likely reason for that kind of attack is sending you email with a bogus link. Don't click on those.

Interesting, I’m experiencing no issues today. I’d reboot your modem/router in the meantime.

Unplug your cable modem and router; replug. Reboot your computer.

Thanks folks had to restart everything twice, but per usual Freeper advice is the best advice. Got that internet fire under control - yea!
