Stanza.co popup on iPhone

So have just looked. It’s to do with a Calendar Service that brings in fixtures for rugby team (They may do other sports too). You can see it in Setting, Calendar, Accounts, subscribed Calendars I think it’s safe and have not deleted the specific subscribed account, but you can delete it there if you choose to

It’s actually a problem with the way the site is set up. The host site is GTS, and the certificate is issued to GTS, not to stanza.co. But it’s a legitimate certificate, it just doesn’t match the site name. You can choose to trust it, and the message will go away. As long as you don’t enter any data and just view the calendar there is no risk in accepting it.

I did the same just this morning, wasn't sure what it was. Went into my trusted certificates today and it's not even listed. I'm not sure what I did to trigger that.

Of course it’s not listed. The certificate isn’t on your phone, it is on the site stanza.co, so it is not possible for you to delete it. You have options:

• You can wait for the site administrator to fix THEIR certificate
• Delete the sports calendars on your phone
• Tap to view the certificate, then tap Trust

The pop up from Stanza.co was from the Denver Bronco calendar. I deleted it so it wouldn’t pop up with Cannot identify server.

You probably got tricked into installing a rogue calendar; your phone does not have a virus. In the future beware of "free" offers

I found the problem. It was an NFL team calendar. Thanks everyone.

I got this too. I have no subscribed calendars beside the NHL calendar, so I’m guessing this was the culprit. Someone else said they use it for Rugby teams. I ignored it. They will either get the cert. figured out or I’ll delete the calendar.

Hey! I’m not seeing in this thread how to delete the trust cert? The pop up has no nav to actual cert. it’s a calendering subscription I’ve used for years so I was going to re subscribe and hope that refreshed the cert. I deleted the calendars from stanza but the cert is still somewhere. Any suggestions?

You can’t delete the trust cert because it isn’t on your phone, it is on the site. You can tap to view the certificate and then trust it. It is a configuration error on the site, and has nothing to do with your phone. With luck the site owner will fix the problem.

Then don’t visit that site.

This is in response to Hull - The above worked, I hope! I found most of my sports were the old stanza. I deleted all of them & resubscribed to new addresses.

Yes, the first few reports I saw were for Rugby, so I foolishly assumed that it was just Rugby.

I’ve just had this come up on my iPad as a popup. I didn’t do anything other than come on my iPhone to search it, and it’s now disappeared

I have subscribed calendars for sports teams at Oregon state for years & never a problem.
