The person(s) who is/are responsible for the bank/netshop whatever
you're trying to communicate with. In most cases, they could connect
you with whoever operates the website/-server. They can give you an
authoritative answer on the certificate, e.g. if it has been replaced,
or if it's still the same.

In any case, don't enter any credentials, don't proceed if you
encounter a fingerprint mismatch, and you're safe for now.
