In order to mitigate attacks like this Firefox users can use: http://convergence.io/


There's also another, similar, project called Perspectives: http://perspectives-project.org/

The Syrian government was doing this recently as well: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/05/syrian-man-middle-agai...

Oh and don't forget about the EFF's SSL Observatory: https://www.eff.org/observatory


How easy is it to MITM the convergence requests themselves? And does it send all of my web-browsing habits to the notaries? How much money would I have to pay for someone to run a notary for me and would that be safe?

convergence is not compatable with FF 6.0 btw. You'll need to manually check if your using 6.0.
