This is what I am trying to tell you, while under their Security SSL i.e. https://secure.newegg.com/NewMyAccount I didn't have VeriSign last night I had the Akamai.net one I posted at the beginning of this thread, it didn't say www.newegg.com, verisign or any of that. Now if Akamai was hosting...
First off I will apologize for that, you were right Newegg does use Akimai but you calling me a moron just added fuel to the fire as far as me getting my point across that I had a bad certificate and encountering a false newegg site.
I was angry because you took a thread about a me being DNS...
Hey Guys,
Last night I had a little scare while shopping on newegg. You can read about here in this thread
Thread from last night
Amazingly despite the time that morning alot of Anandtech people helped me out and belayed my fears.....and I listened, I thank them for there help but it...
Just so you all know what the fake certificate looks like I posted this in the DNS in the Wild thread as it was happening to me.
Here is the other info on the Certficate Viewer
This certificate has been verified for the following uses:
SSL Server Certficate
Email Recipent Certificate...
It was either using Google to lookup newegg.com (yeah I am lazy) or clicking the headphone link for the Senns HD555 in a thread on these forums(linked in the first thread). Either way I just wanted everyone to know and be careful especially considering how many of us on here use Newegg
Mine say the same thing now as yours but last night it was Akima, and it almosted costed me alot of headache.
Right after I put those headphones on auto notify, I was going to purchase my new build to do so I would of updated my credit card info.
So glad I use Firefox and it warned me...
Dude I can care less wether you believe me, I just spent an hour on the phone with neweeg rep and thats what I was told.
Legit or not that doesn't mean someone can't open up a website with Akamai and have a SSL certifcate and then make a fake site of Newegg.
Straight from Newegg Rep they...
Exactly Newegg doesn't use them Therfore the site I was at was not legit!!!
Just becuase a site has an SSL certifcate doesn't mean it's a valid one for the site you are at
Look I am just telling people what happened to me!!! Newegg verified the certificate I typed above was not valid.
They also told me that they don't use Akamai.
If you don't believe me fine I was just posting this here to help other out.
Call Newegg if you want to confirm what I am...
Dude Get off your high horse I didn't come here to tell you the sky way falling I just told you what happened to me, Also I said in advance that I was sorry if I was wrong i no way did I pretend like I was an expert. Instead of looking in to what I say you would rather have an E-penis war and...
Thanks dude wether I am right or wrong I don't care anymore, let the peanut gallery here think what they want.
Just trying to help other out, Newegg told me the certficate I was given was not valid and firefox wouldn't give me that warning if it was.
I have been surfing newegg for day...
Educate you self dumbass Firefox wouldn't have given the warning if it wasn't for real
For your education Dumbass
Maybe you stop being such an ass now!! if you reread my original post I said form the beginning I was sorry if wrong but thought it was warranted to post here.
Thanks Mate,
Was just being paranoid never had firefox tell me that on newegg site ever and the first thing that came to my mind was the DNS posioning thing I had read on here
Once again thank you all for you help, you guys rock!!!
Well I will trust you guys more than somebody at newegg who is a customer service rep and has no idea what I am talking about. Thanks guys once again sorry to bother you all.
So this is normal then? Whew sorry to get everyone worked up but still its a little scary when you read that DNS in the wild thread
After auto-notify for the headphones the next thing i was going to do was purchase my new build at 1800 dollars worth of stuff.
I hope you can see why I was...
Not that I doubt you but how do you know that?
My last post in the DNS in the wild thread I typed the certificate if that helps you figure if it is legit
Hey guys,

Hey Moonboy,
Well I just want good bang for the buck, with Audio equipment that seems hard to find.
