PayPal Security Update on June 17th 2016

So, here's the thing: PayPal is rolling out a security update on June 17th 2016. A friday, for the joy of all developers and agencies I think. Those who are not prepared and did not check the requirements first will have websites/shops with a non-working PayPal integration after June 17th.

Discontinue use of the VeriSign G2 Root Certificate
