desktop: Untrusted Server Error
Description
I use GitHub Desktop without any Enterprise configuration. I have some repositories which are not hosted on GitHub as well as hosted on GitHub (public and private repositories).
I have been seeing an error dialog which tells “This may indicate attackers are trying to steal your data”. Please see the following screenshot.
What is it and what should I do?
Version
- GitHub Desktop: 2.1.0
- Operating system: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.175]
Steps to Reproduce
It occurs arbitrary. I have no idea what triggers it.

I have the same problem, but the untrusted certificate instead of “Daniel” was “zxv10”. Worse, I thought the “Add Certificate” button would take me to a certificate registration window, but it just disappeared with the message. The Github desktop is working, but I don’t know if I opened any exploits on my system. I don’t know if it’s really installed and how I could remove zxv10, I looked for this name in certmgr.msc but it has nothing like that.
I always hibernate the system, so github was open when system restarted, and without internet until it found wifi, this could be part of the problem. I started using the app 3 days ago. GitHub Version: 2.1.0 Windows 7 Home Premium LogFile: 2019-07-30.desktop.production.log
