Re: Don't trust the Lock icon either!

I figured it would work, as its just a display bug, really. Damn. I updated the news bit to link to your post demonstrating the fake encrypted site that gives no alerts about the certificate not matching what is displayed in the address bar.

Yes, I set it up. As long as the "real" webhost has a valid SSL certificate (and is issued by a root that is trusted by the browser), no warning is popped up at all. Scary, huh.
