Comment on Quick non technical question about Heartbleed Bug

Comments

No, you should not have to pay to get an SSL certificate rekeyed. Some providers may ask for money if you want to revoke the cert, if -- for example -- you believe your private keys may have been compromised and you want people's browsers to go nuts if they see that cert in the future, at (for example) a site attempting to MITM you.

Thanks!
