The topcoder vintage arena is throwing exceptions since yesterday. Seems like some certificate has expired

Attaching the java stack trace

Now the arena is not even starting up. It immediately exits with an error

The product team is looking into this @agsharath. Will keep you updated.

After almost a month, still the issue remains. The arena used to be the most important way to interface with topcoder. And it has been down for a month. Pretty sad state of affairs compared to few years back..

@agsharath: This has been solved a few days ago. Is it working for you now?
