Hi all,

In case you missed that research report:
'The analysis<https://www.linshunghuang.com/papers/mitm.pdf> is important 
because it's the first to estimate the amount of real-world tampering inflicted 
on the HTTPS system that millions of sites use to prove their identity and 
encrypt data traveling to and from end users. Of 3.45 million real-world 
connections made to Facebook servers using the transport layer security (TLS) 
or secure sockets layer protocols, 6,845, or about 0.2 percent of them, were 
established using forged certificates. The vast majority of unauthorized 
credentials were presented to computers running antivirus programs from 
companies including Bitdefender, Eset, and others. Commercial firewall and 
network security appliances were the second most common source of forged 
certificates.'
