Paypal security upgrade from sha-1 to sha-256 algorithm

Anyone get a PayPal msg like this and what are you doing about it, if anything? Hopefully it’s all being taken care of by admins at the various sites that we [URL removed]

Support SHA-256. PayPal is upgrading SSL certificates on all Live and Sandbox endpoints from SHA-1 to the stronger and more robust SHA-256 algorithm. You will need to update your integration to support certificates using SHA-256.

Discontinue use of the VeriSign G2 Root Certificate. In accordance with industry standards, PayPal will no longer honor secure connections that require the VeriSign G2 Root Certificate for trust validation. Only secure connection requests that are expecting our certificate/trust chain to be signed by the G5 Root Certificate will result in successful secure connections.

Hi! No not at all, but I have not had a sale recently. If this happened to me I would be on the phone with PayPal and also reporting this to Bonanza. Rita

I have not received this message. I would proceed with caution. This may not be real!

Thank you! I got some good answers from our ArtYah G+ group. I’m through asking now, lol.

To be honest, I stopped using this paying platform long ago and I don’t regret it. Now we have much more convenient platforms and I use them. The same thing with antiviruses. Formerly we used many different antiviruses and some of them were really bad. Our systems worked poorly with them. Now there are Cybersecurity trends 2020 on marketbusinessnews.com/cybersecurity-trends-2020/227684/ which are completely different.
