The certificate for the site is from a non-trusted authority. That doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the site itself. The problem is that it could have been set up by a baddie. But why impersonate something so low-traffic? :-)

(My wild conjecture, based on some complaints I've seen recently, is that it might be the result of a Microsoft security breach, but I could very well be wrong. All I know is that the signing authority isn't trusted.)

It might well clear up on or before May 11, when the certificate is due to be renewed.

If you actually want to buy something from them, it's probably safe. But it can't hurt to wait until May 11.
