PayPal service upgrades.

As we have previously communicated to you, PayPal is upgrading the certificate for www.paypal.com to SHA-256. This endpoint is also used by merchants using the Instant Payment Notification (IPN) product.

This upgrade is scheduled for 9/30/2015; however, we may need to change this date on short notice to you to align to the industry security standard.

You’re receiving this notification because you’ve been identified as a merchant who has used IPN endpoints within the past year. If you have not made the necessary changes, we urge you to do so right away to avoid a disruption of your service!

Because these changes are technical in nature, we advise that you consult with your individuals responsible for your PayPal integration. They will be able to identify what, if any, changes are needed. Please share this email and the hyperlinks below with your technical contact for evaluation.

Testing in the Sandbox is one of the best ways to make sure your integration works. Sandbox endpoints have been upgraded to accept secure connections by the SHA-256 Certificates.

Full technical details can be found in our Merchant Security System Upgrade Guide. In addition, our 2015-2016 SSL Certificate Change microsite contains a schedule of our service upgrade plan.

Thanks for your patience as we continue to improve our services.

When you see "2014" you know some idiot copied the template but forgot to update the date!

You can always forward the message to spoof@paypal.com - including headers

I got this note also.

I logged into PAYPAL itself to see if there was any notification in there, there wasn't but I don't know where to look in the "new" PAYPAL screens.

Messages like this used to show up on my main summary page, but I don't find anything like that on the "new" PAYPAL summary page and don't know where they put them 😐

I think it must be legit. In one of my earlier posts i mentioned how I was having a hard time logging into my Paypal account. I finally could using IE but I still was jumping through hoops to get in. Anyway, in that email it mentions in the link for Merchant Security System Upgrade Guide, that users who use Verisign VIP Symantec to log in should uninstall it. I have just done that, and I can now log in perfectly using Google Chrome. Site is still secure. So....must be something in it.
