When such an error (see article) is presented, it’s a teachable moment not only for the user surfing the site, but also for the owner of the site who is going to field questions about the error message from users.
It would be great if Mozilla would include some wording that instills alarm in site owners about how the site’s information, not just the user’s, is at risk.
For example, most non-malicious site owners probably would not want maliciously altered content served from or made to appear as though it came from their site. Yet most of them are, I suspect, unaware that this is a danger when their site does not use TLS.
It would be great to see Mozilla take this chance to highlight this danger so that the people most in a position to make changes would become aware of this additional good reason to do so.

I'd expect the reseller to inform the buyer about the distrust of these certificates. The SSL reseller we use informed us before April this year.
- natch 8y agoI’m not talking about the distrust though. I’m talking about how to convince sites why they should give a care about the distrust. Many of them have no cares to give because they are missing this part of the picture.
