Forged Certificates?

Help
1

I received a notice of Expiry. I Do Not Own the TLD referenced. Someone has obviously forged the certificate using my preferred email address and name. How do I notify the Letsencrypt technical team?

Thanks,

Sorry to hear that? Um, The Help article you reference, doesn't answer my question. Nor did it answer the original poster's question. The reply(ies) References to 3 places to go read, that do not answer the question. Does the Staff want to be notified? There's a contact us, but a ton of assumptions as well. Yes, email them. or No. No one cares? hm,

But Seroiusly, I'm not floundering on what all this means or implies. I know exactly what it means. Someone or some bot forged a cert with my credentials. This staff is going to ignore an obvious forgery using my email address? ok, I'll probably stop using LetsEncrypt certs as well.

It's not uncommon for a Let's Encrypt subscriber to enter the wrong e-mail address. When this happens, it does not grant that e-mail address' owner access to manage the subscriber's certificates, or vice versa.

Because of this, it's safe to ignore misdirected notification e-mails from Let's Encrypt.

If you like, you may use the unsubscribe link near the end of the message, although please be aware that this would unsubscribe your e-mail address from any future Let's Encrypt notifications.
