The Secure Web Page isn't as secure as you think. . . and it applies to all platforms! Something the government regulations has again screwed up! — PING!

Apple AND Windows AND Linux

Don’t worry too much about this little security flaw, they are still going to leave the Back Door for the NSA, CIA, FBI, ...in their software so you can be watched over.

From a more technical site:

“Threat Model

“All the attacks on this page assume a network adversary (i.e. a man-in-the-middle) to tamper with TLS handshake messages. The typical scenario to mount such attacks is by tampering with the Domain Name System (which is known to be done by ISPs and governments for Internet censorship and domain name seizing).”

So if you actually are going to the site you think you are going to, then you are secure. You could do this by relying on local DNS for all important sites.
