Google Public CA is down (status.pki.goog)

youtube (recommendations/homepage) also seems down, I wonder if its relater.

Ah, so that’s probably why YouTube is also down (at the time of this comment)

Heroku having service issues, dependency related?

All is down in eu too

Good thing I have nebula.tv for when youtube breaks

Thought my Revanced patch got outdated for a second. Phew.

Down here in Southeast Asia

Hmm why youtube does not work but google.com does.

Now I'm wondering if you rely on OCSP in a TLS client and the pki is Google does it still works?

Did someone buy the google.com domain again?

Everyone loves to say they work at $FAMOUS_COMPANY, but when something like this happens, no-one will say that they did this.

Looking forward to the post-mortem.

It's a good thing we have ever-shrinking certificate lifetimes and automation never breaks. That's what I've been told, anyway.

oof

Not sure but it is very strange i was served a strange tom And jerry video https://youtu.be/rilFfbm7j8k

Eight hour estimated restoration time!

It is a well-known fact that the moment YouTube goes down, the collective productivity of Earth increases by approximately 4,000%, which is immediately squandered by everyone going to Hacker News to read comments about YouTube being down. I myself have taken to podcasts… an ancient medium in which people simply talk at you for ninety minutes without a single sponsorship for a mobile game, and this is considered a failure

Time to go over my Watch Later list

Still down

The status history on the page makes it seem like this was intentional?

> 17 Feb 2026 11:32 PST A rollout is going to prevent issuance from occurring. We will provide an estimate on when issuance will stop.

> 17 Feb 2026 12:14 PST Issuance is beginning to stop. A fix to resolve the issue will roll out in about 8 hours

I worked at RSADSI when I was a kid and supported the custom spin of TIPEM Hayden and Sophia used at Verisign. This brings back some very bad memories.

But... hopefully... people created overlapping windows of cert validity so there's always a valid cert available for their services and can tolerate the CA being out of action for 8(?) hours. Imagine if your TGS/Kerberos or AWS IAM IdP was down for 8 hours.

While were all here does anyone want to launch a startup for a cloud security tool I built

Welp, looks like they're back up. Home page and notifications are loading just fine now.

Is that what was happening with my youtube mid workout?

People went ballistic on me a few months ago for bringing this up, but this is exactly the kind of outage that makes me really, really worried about extremely short lived certificates. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46118371
