But we can trust them with "cyberpolicy".

No more or less so than yesterday.

"Everyone" has had an certificate issue at one point or another, Microsoft, Google. Apple, and if tech' firms get it wrong then what chance does anyone else have?

And of course, this is on the same day as their cybersecurity summit at Stanford.

If you examine the cert, it's not expired. Akamai is serving the wrong cert so there's a hostname mismatch.

the cert on www.whitehouse.gov is down as well (that's where the *.whitehouse.gov cert would fit in nicely). I think the setup is messed up

www is the problem, where Akami is serving their own instead of the whitehouse.gov wildcard. The cert coming in for whitehouse.gov is fine and not expired.

You are right I misread February 2nd, 2016. I am not seeing the hostname mismatch though.
