For your information:
Microsoft and FireFox both changed their handling of website security
certificates to counter problems with a method of attempting to defraud
bank customers called phishing. This is where you receive an email
that claims it is from your bank or other financial institution and asks
you to click a provided link then fill out personal information to
verify who you are. The reality is that a criminal sent you the
email and the website your directed to is under their control.
Your bank will never send you an email asking you to do anything like
this. If you even think an email is actually from your bank call
them on the phone at a number from your statement not from an email.
To continue the fake websites will trick you into thinking they are a
secure link to your bank by using something called a self issued
certificate. These are a legitimate type of certificate used when
a site simply wishes to ensure that the connection between your computer
and the website remains secure and your information sent and received is
not open to being monitored. Because there is no central authority
over this type of certificate Microsoft and others have chosen to have
their browsers default to not trusting self issued certificates.
Instead of simply warning you that the certificate is self issued you
get the dire warning that there is a problem with this website's
security certificate. [Note this is something you should never see with
your bank or other financial institutions' website.] And it is
recommended that you not continue to the site. What they are not
mentioning is that if you know the site your going to there is nothing
wrong with continuing on to the website. It would perhaps be
better if they did a more accurate job of identifying self issued
certificates but this was the compromise they made to improve security
and attempt to protect the end consumers from fraud.
