On a similar note, I remember when Apple had a similar outage in the App Store [1], and a lot of my App Store bought software stopped working, claiming to be damaged. The workaround was to re-download the software again from the App Store, but because Apple doesn't let you download old versions, some of the apps had since updated to a newer macOS version than my machine could handle & I couldn't download them with the new certificates. Some of the smaller indie developers were gracious enough to send me non-signed non-App Store builds that I could keep using, but I did lose some software I'd bought. I haven't bought from the App Store ever since. Considering Mozilla's certificate failure, Apple's cert failure, and the number of websites I encounter that have forgotten to renew their certificates, it seems like a broken system. Or a really effective form of DRM, I'm not sure which. [1] https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7336980 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7336980
