DigiCert Root Certificate Migration
On August 17th, PayPal announced the Migration to DigiCert Root Certificates to address upcoming changes that major web browser and operating system providers will be making to remove trust for Symantec root certificates.
As of today, we’re happy to announce that PayPal has migrated critical endpoints to the new DigiCert Root Certificates. This significantly reduces the likelihood that Consumers and Merchants will be impacted.
PayPal will continue to support the changes, and in the coming months will be upgrading the remaining certificates used to secure our web sites and API endpoints. Check back for updated information at PayPal Notice on DigiCert Root Certificate Migration.
