WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Learning objectives
- Treat unexpected certificate warnings seriously.
The useful habit
An intermediary may try to observe or alter communication. Correctly validated encrypted connections help protect against some forms of interception. Do not ignore certificate warnings or assume a familiar network name proves trust.
Apply it
A service unexpectedly shows a certificate warning. Stop and verify the connection through an approved support path instead of bypassing it.
