Micro Trains website issues

Is anyone else having trouble accessing Micro Trains website? When I try to access it, it takes me to a page called Fireshark Customs. @MTLJoe, do you know anything about this?

2:03 AM EDT I'm also getting "Fireshark Customs".  Looks like maybe somebody screwed a DNS update.

I don't know if it was related, but there were Internet problems Tuesday.

"On Tuesday an Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage caused disruptions across a number of major businesses' websites, rendering some temporarily inoperable.

At issue was an aspect of AWS called "Lambda" which allows users to run code for a list of applications.

Lambda lets customers run programs without having to manage underlying servers.

Reports of issues with websites not working properly, or users receiving error prompts, came through for hours. "

Current issue is a bad SSL cert.

Same issue, if you do click through.. you are redirected to a T-shirt site. Looks like someone redirected their URL.

Joe
Go to GoDaddy and share the issue with their support team. The problem is at their end.

So, there is something to the conspiracy theory that ALIENS control the internet between midnight and 3 AM.

The reason for the SSL error, is that the cert is issued to MTL domain name, but the url is directing to a different domain - that does not match the domain in the cert. This throws the error. So MTL needs to go to their domain provider and correct their settings. This might have happened when a new cert was installed. Should take 5 min to fix, an hour or two to roll out thru all the internet.
