Auth servers - Invalid SSL certs

Hello, since the beggining of March, I've seen many users complaining about not being able to reach the Mojang Auth servers.

 

After looking at their logs, and enabling SSL debug, I noticed there seems to be a SSL issue when trying to reach the authentication servers. Below is the SSL debug for a session request :

Did the SSL certs got updated to a cipher suite not supported by the current Java version ? MC is still using 1.8.0_51, which is very old, it might require an update to let it handle newer types of certs / update the root certs.

 

Note : Affects all versions of MC
