Yes, there are attacks against SSL/TLS. That's no reason to believe that it is useless at protecting your privacy. Using HTTPS sounds like a perfect low-hanging fruit to protect against the casual dragnet surveillance. I had a similar discussion on the german blog and frankly I don't get the "everything is broken, let's just not bother and even badmouth it" attitude some people have. If you want a bad analogy: Clothes protect your privacy even though there are microwave scanners, skirt-lifting perverts and some too-thin cloths. Cheers, Hannes
