Cannot Verify Server Identity

I keep receiving a pop up message that Says the above and then says The identity of "link" cannot b...

And then it gives options of Details or Cancel. If I click details, it brings me to the System Setting ICON with a248.e.akamai.net Issued by DigiCert TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1 and under that in red it says Not Trusted. Under that says Expires 4/19/25, 7:59:59PM And then you have the option to click more details.

What is this and how do I remove safely? Please advise. Thanks in advance!

Go to Settings > Calendar > Accounts and delete the calendar subscriptions that you do not recognize.


If you don't see any subscription or suspicious account:


  • Open the Calendar app.
  • At the bottom of the screen, tap Calendars.
  • Look for a calendar that you do not recognize. Tap the More Information button “I’ next to this calendar, then scroll down and tap Delete Calendar.

FINALLY figured this out. We are all on the right track -- it is old legacy leagueathletic sports calendars that are haunting you. That app was sunsetted I guess. I unsubscribed from all of the old calendars weeks ago but have been still getting popups. Today I went to subscribe to a new calendar for my son's upcoming football season and I realized that calendars can be stored either on your iphone or in icloud! I had unsubscribed to all of my "on the iphone" calenders (settings, calendars) but sure enough there were calendars on the icloud I still had. I just deleted all of them. It's only been a little bit but no popups so far!!!

My wife and I have been having this issue for at least 2 weeks now with no solutions. I tried the calendar thing and neither of us are subscribed to a random calendar.


i personally think it has something to do with the NBC Peakcock app we downloaded for the Olympics. However, my wife never downloaded it on her phone. I downloaded Peacock on my phone but then have uninstalled and done 2 updates since this issue.


I’ve also reset network settings. Hard reset my phone. Idk what else to try. Super annoying.

I’m having the same issue! Unfortunately, I am subscribed to several kids athletic calendars that I am actually using for my grandchildren sports activities. Like lkw1330 I also downloaded the Olympics app and peacock. So not sure where this is coming from, but I can’t seem to get rid of it. It’s happening every few seconds, and definitely affecting my workflow. So incredibly annoying! None of the solutions have worked for me as no calendars show up when I go to settings. Hopefully someone will come up with another solution.
