A hackerish question: how can you take advantage of it? Say, in stocks or online transactions?

(I haven't got time to read the article right now (but will do in a week when I'm less busy) and have little to zero experience with times, so forgive me if it's something that's been discussed in the article. I'm just curious.)

Almost certainly not. Remember this happens about every 1½ years, so this has happened a few times recently. I cannot see how you could take advantage of it, since it's the sort of edge case that you'd presume the designers of stock markets would know about.

SSL certs or something, maybe?

SSL certs issued at :60 may have problem with validation. Just reissue them.

I guess that's not very interesting, then :/
