People make mistake, we all understand. (actually quite surprising as Yahoo does not have a mechanism to scan/monitor expired SSL certs).
This is not the real issue here, the thing is their engineers think expired SSL cert is okay and no action being done. I told them you are now training your users to `feel` comfortable with browser warnings when they edit their Yahoo profile and risk your users in future's phishing attacks. I asked them why you are not using a self-signed cert if you think expired SSL cert is okay (of coz they didn't reply)
Util I raise this up in another hackernews' thread on their product's announcement and maybe this time it really made them feel embarrassing and finally they fixed it with a day.
The real problem here is actually not on the expired SSL cert, it is their mindset - you should treat every little reports seriously and it is your responsibility, because you are running one of the world's largest web sites.
