If you have a PlayStation 3 that has been stored in the storage room or attic for a long time, it may not be connected to the web when you connect it to your TV.

The same will be true for phones, high-end televisions, Kindle devices, computers, and more.

On September 20, security teacher Scott Helme announced this issue on his blog: a commonly used security endorsement from Let's Encrypt expires on September 30.

The Ident Trust DST CA X3 will has been used since that same day in 2000.

Its motivation, similar to that of other authentications, is to approve and encode the association of the gadget with the Internet to prevent outsiders from having the option of recognizing the information sent.

Usually the current control center, for example, the aforementioned PlayStation 3 and even PlayStation 4, can lose access to the web in the possibility that it has not been updated in the last four years.

Sony offers through its authority site the possibility to update this control center by downloading the firmware from a PC and introducing it using a USB storage drive such as a blaze drive.

PCs, mobiles and tablets, essentially launched since 2016.

With regard to mobile phones, any Android phone with the 7.1.1 port, and surprisingly some gadgets with the frameworks running form 2.3.6 or higher can mount the network. iPhone and iPad gadgets should be moved up to iOS 10 (delivered September 2016). Computers with Windows XP Service Pack 3 or higher and macOS 10.12.1 are also protected, as are Kindle devices with version 3.4.1.

If you have any of the gadgets mentioned above, or a smart TV or other gadget; who do not have the option to associate with the web, there is likely an answer.

Just go to the equipment manufacturer's site and download the latest firmware update from a PC and then plug it into the device.

This will be something that will happen again later, and will continue to happen. Ley's Encrypt's current endorsement, ISRG Root X1, is widely used and will end on September 30, 2021.

Perhaps before that day is the ideal opportunity to clean our Xbox One, Wii U, PS4 and any other that we have in the closet to review.

This is an impressive change for people. If you do not update your device as soon as possible you will run out of internet.

This affects all those users who do not have the availability to update or maintain a stable internet connection with which they can be aware of these updates and others.
