Website throws a certificate warning

When I go to http://www.virtualbox.org it immediately redirects to the https-version, which in turn throws a certificate warning.

It says: The server's certificate did not match its hostname

Devvers, you want to know which browser I'm using, and it's Opera 12.02 on Windows 7. But it doesn't matter. The certificate is the problem, the browser is just very strict (and for good reason). But now you can at least reproduce the problem.

Now I cannot download the latest version, or do anything on the website really. Strangely the forums do work (otherwise I did not even post this, I would've... I don't even know). Please fix this asap?

See viewtopic.php?p=239946#p239946
It's a known problem and they are working to fix it.

The referenced topic indicated the problem is fixed, but it isn't...

only the SSL certificate for the virtualbox.org site is currently incorrect.
It clearly states it is not fixed.

Try it again. It takes a bit to propagate the certificates but they all seem to be working now.

Moving to using VirtualBox as this is not a suggestion.
