Security issue

Question

Hello,
I have the following problem (see attached photo)
I receive this warning message with Thunderbird:
"You are bypassing how Thunderbird identifies this site"
This message worries me because I recently had my Facebook account hacked.
I have deleted the hacked email address from my provider.
I mention this because I doubt there is a connection, but you never know..
Am I still being hacked on my other addresses?

Received this warning message on Thunderbird just now.. Does anyone have an idea of what it is and what it hides?

hello we need a higher resolution image, this one is not readable.

Hi,  Do you happen to have AVAST?  It’s true that your image is unreadable. If there’s no way to get a larger format, just take a photo of it!  Thanks

If you have Avast, follow this procedure: >HERE<   -- The stone and the pebble fall at the same speed (an old Chinese proverb)

No, I don't have Avast but AVG. I'm waiting for the message to occur again (it's not the case every time) to provide it to you in better quality.

wizub · Answer

This is what I get, it should be sharper.

try to recreate the cert8.db file
although for Firefox, it's the same for Thunderbird
look there https://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/que-signifie-votre-connexion-nest-pas-securisee
go to Corrupted certificate storage

go to Help/? -> Troubleshooting Information -> Profile folder -> Open the corresponding folder
rename the file cert8.db to xxxcert8.db and restart Thunderbird
cert8.db will be recreated

Hello,
Remove AVG, it should get better after that..
I think it's the one causing the problem.

Try this one:
https://www.avast.com/fr-fr/free-antivirus-download

Is the time and date displayed correctly for today on your PC?

Hi,
it seems that the problem has been resolved for two days.
I followed dubcek's instructions (renaming the cert 9 file) but without immediate success.
After restarting the PC, it seems to be working.
Could that have been it?

Javix · Answer

Hello,
I also had this problem with a Gmail address.
As an Avast user, I found the solution through this link at Avast: https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/91/#artTitle
Just to clarify: I had to delete the existing Avast certificate and replace it with the one I had exported.
Hopefully, this will help other users...

wizub · Answer

I think it's related to one of my email addresses that was hacked. I've changed all my passwords, re-installed everything, and the problem is gone.
