Government shutdown: TLS certificates not renewed, many websites are down

Didn't see this posted elsewhere on DU:

"More than 80 TLS certificates used by US government websites have expired so far without being renewed, leaving some websites inaccessible to the public.

NASA, the US Department of Justice, and the Court of Appeals are just some of the US government agencies currently impacted, according to Netcraft.

The blame falls on the current US federal government shutdown, which has resulted in hundreds of thousands of government workers being furloughed across all government agencies, including staff handling IT support and cybersecurity."


NASA.gov appears to be up at the moment, but I did not dig very deep. More at link:
