Can you point me to something specific? I see things about spoofing
some other site's certificate and some things about specific
implementations being subject to man-in-the-middle attacks but nothing
that looks like a generic weakness. If you are concerned about your
service provider (who would have the best opportunity to arrange a
man-in-the-middle connection), maybe you should use someone else - or a
service that lets you run your own system images where you could set up
a blowfish-based vpn.
