EuroGA "Unsafe"??

Yes I would be on the case immediately.

I’m sure you’re right, but if was the actual EuroGA site that had an invalid certificate, then you should be wary.

re-use the credentials?

Sure, but that’s dumb. Practically every PHP-BB forum has been hacked. Open source, PHP, what do you expect?

Anyway, re-using creds doesn’t nowadays enable setting up a new payee.

This doesn’t make sense.

Hope to re-use the credentials?

Actually, sometimes it is happens for less clandestine reasons – deep packet inspection (Infosec) or injecting the ads into your browsing (Superfish or Thank you, Lenovo!).
Another reason could be some root certs did not get the updates, while the rest of the system is OK – you get confirmation that your updates were installed, but your browser does not recognise some certs.
Or your browser/DNS caching is screwed and it partially shows the old content (from when you’ve authenticated with Wi-Fi hot-spot, for example) – you get some content secure, some – not; annoying like hell.

I think what people have advised OP already is the more than enough – you test the different websites from different devices/different device types/different networks.
After comparing the results it is very easy to see where the problem is.

Precisely because a f**k-up by CloudFlare is unlikely that the cause is very likely elsewhere, e.g. skydriller connected from a “friend’s” WiFi network and that friend was actually intercepting his communication.

Exactly! Such a network could provide a fake DNS server which redirects www.euroga.org to another server which passes all messages on to EuroGA while at the same time intercepting everything which is sent, including passwords. Cloudflare can do nothing to prevent that. The only protection is that the certificate will be invalid.

It is caused by the google translate Chrome plug-in spotting some French text and then going ahead to translate all “French” it can find to English

If that’s directed at me I haven’t a clue. Whilst I have had the same message as skydriller I haven’t the slightest clue what has been discussed here about certificates. Its rocket science to me.
When it happened.to me I had to re-sign in.and the message went away.
But I perhaps now know why I could not read euroga in Egypt.

Yeah, but why does it do that?

Well I suppose that is an accurate translation the origin of Welsh like Walloon meaning foreigner.
Gallois does literally translate in Google translate as Welsh. Funny that I do have Welsh ancestors.
