Rich writes:A digital certificate that expired after 10 years is causing a major outage in German retail payment handling. The involved Verifone H5000 card reader was introduced in 2012 but is still widely in use. Acceptance points have been advised to not power off their devices, because on startup, the failing certificate locks out the device even from updates.
