Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1
What is Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1?
DigiCert's hosting-partner free DV TLS program distributed through shared-hosting providers (WebsiteBuilder, cPanel bundles, etc.). Free tier offered through hosting resellers, which is why it lands on a lot of low-reputation domains.

Frequently asked questions about Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1
What is Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1?
Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1 is a publicly trusted intermediate certificate authority operated by DigiCert (Encryption Everywhere program) and chained to DigiCert Global Root CA. It is recognized by all mainstream browsers and operating system trust stores, so the certificate itself is not a phishing indicator - the same intermediate signs millions of legitimate sites. phishunt only flags the specific domains listed below as suspicious; Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1 as a CA is fine.
Is Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1 a legitimate certificate authority?
Yes. Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1 is a publicly trusted intermediate CA operated by DigiCert (Encryption Everywhere program), included in the Microsoft, Apple, Google and Mozilla root trust stores. Every mainstream browser automatically accepts certificates it signs. The intermediate itself is not a phishing signal — what matters is the specific domain. phishunt flags only the suspicious domains listed below; Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1 keeps signing millions of legitimate sites.
Who runs the Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1 certificate authority?
Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1 is operated by DigiCert (Encryption Everywhere program). It is a RSA intermediate that chains up to the DigiCert Global Root CA root, which DigiCert (Encryption Everywhere program) also owns. Anyone can look up the chain in the public Certificate Transparency logs; the same operator publishes a Certificate Policy / Certification Practice Statement (CP/CPS) describing how issuance and revocation work.
What does Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1 mean when my browser shows it as the issuer?
When a browser shows Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1 as the certificate issuer for a site, it means TLS was validated through DigiCert (Encryption Everywhere program)'s RSA chain ending at DigiCert Global Root CA. That is normal for tens of millions of legitimate sites that use DigiCert (Encryption Everywhere program)'s automated DV TLS. The certificate proves the connection is encrypted and that the certificate matches the hostname — it does not prove the site behind it is trustworthy. Always verify the domain name itself.
Why does Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1 show up on phishing sites?
DigiCert (Encryption Everywhere program) issues RSA domain-validated certificates automatically and at no cost (or very low cost), which is the exact workflow scammers need to put HTTPS on a throwaway domain. Domain validation only proves that the requester controls the domain name, not that the site behind it is trustworthy. phishunt lists the specific domains currently flagged below — those are the suspicious ones, not Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1 itself.
How do I verify a certificate issued by Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1?
In a desktop browser, click the padlock in the address bar and open the certificate viewer. Confirm the issuer chain ends at DigiCert Global Root CA, that the subject matches the domain you expect, and that the notAfter date has not passed. A valid Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1 certificate only proves TLS was negotiated correctly — always verify the domain name itself belongs to the service you intended to visit.
What is the difference between Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1 and Thawte TLS RSA CA G1?
Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1 and its siblings (Thawte TLS RSA CA G1, RapidSSL TLS RSA CA G1, GeoTrust TLS RSA CA G1) share the same operator (DigiCert (Encryption Everywhere program)) and roll up to the same root (DigiCert Global Root CA). CAs rotate multiple intermediates so that if one key ever has to be revoked, the damage is contained. As a user, you can treat all of them as the same trust anchor.
