When I try to download the Windows Migration assistant to move data from my pc to my new Mac, I can't access the download, as the sites security certificate has been revoked. It's been this way for several days.
Thanks in advance
Windows, Windows 10
which version of macOS are you running on the Mac? links are in this article:
Move your data from a Windows PC to your Mac - Apple Support
I tried all three download Links shown in that article (on my Mac) and none complained about certificates.
Another users reports those are all no good, they report "Certificate revoked". I don't use Windows, so I am no more help.
I have posted a message for help from Senior Contributors who run Windows systems.
I can confirm this is still an issue. I have tried on Chrome and Edge and getting the certificate revoked when clicking the download link for Download Windows Migration Assistant v2.2.0.0 (Mojave)
Please fix the website certificate
It appears there was a dust-up with Symantec authorizing subsidiaries to grant certificates, that were then issued outside of acceptable practices. This resulted in some certificates being revoked.
Later GeoTrust bought up assets of Symantec regarding certificates, but may be being "tarred with the same brush" as the original.
The certificates on the download are:
Cert details:
Issued to: updates.cdn-aple.com
Issued by: Apple IST CA 2 - G1
Valid from 11/10/2020 to 12/12/2001
based on: GeoTrust Global CA
If you trust any of those certificates manually, you can complete the download and go about your business.

Senior contributors report the certificate problem has been fixed, so try the download again.
If it does not work, please report back!
I got it to work in Chrome.
