Description

In compliance with requirements from the CA/Browser Forum, Sectigo will perform a datacenter switchover test taking place Saturday, March 15th and Sunday, March 16th. This test will include two windows estimated to run approximately ten hours each, during which time some Sectigo services will be unavailable, including the SCM user interface, Sectigo’s partner ordering APIs, and issuance of new leaf certificates. The first window will start at 9:00 UTC on Saturday, March 15th, the second will start at 9:00 UTC Sunday, March 16th. Please note that there may be some minor service degradation between the two windows as well. CRL access and OCSP requests will not be affected by this maintenance. We expect all services to resume normal operation immediately after the test.

[Update] Important Notice: The Sectigo Planned Outage scheduled for Saturday, March 15, 2025, at 9:00 AM UTC, as part of the compliance-required datacenter switchover test, has been canceled due to certain concerns. The test will be rescheduled for a later date this year. Further updates will be provided once a new schedule is confirmed. Thank you for your understanding.

Description

Sectigo Announcement: Recent vulnerabilities in the domain name WHOIS system (https://labs.watchtowr.com/we-spent-20-to-achieve-rce-and-accidentally-became-the-admins-of-mobi/) have highlighted the WHOIS-based domain-validation method as a weakness in the process of validating publicly-trusted digital certificates. As a result, a ballot has been proposed in the CA Browser Forum (CABF) requiring that WHOIS-listed email addresses are no longer acceptable for domain validation, nor can historic domain validations based on WHOIS email addresses be reused. This ballot aims to deprecate the WHOIS-based domain validation method. We are currently investigating the impact of this proposed change. If you use WHOIS-based domain validation methods, we recommend migrating to alternative methods as soon as possible. The proposed removal date has moved from November 1st, 2024 to June 15th, 2025. Sectigo will provide updates on this proposal on: https://www.sectigo.com/whois-email-dcv-deprecation

Description

Sectigo Announcement: To comply with new CA/B Forum requirements, Sectigo is introducing Multi-Perspective Issuance Corroboration (MPIC) for Domain Control Validation (DCV) and Certificate Authority Authorization (CAA) checks. This process mitigates security risks by verifying traditional DCV and CAA results from multiple remote network perspectives across different regions. Key Milestones: • February 18, 2025 – MPIC enters a reporting phase. DCV and CAA validation results will be corroborated using multiple remote perspectives, but unsuccessful checks will not affect certificate issuance. • No later than September 15, 2025 – MPIC enforcement begins. Certificates will not be issued if multi-perspective checks fail to corroborate primary DCV or CAA results. (Exact date will be communicated during the summer period.)
