I came across this article http://iang.org/ssl/mallory_wolf.html which
is the third in google search's response to "ssl mitm". It says there
havent been any (major?) SSL MITM attacks so far (Article is dated Mar
2003), and so spending on buying a ssl server cert is just waste of
money. I am no way convinced with this guy's argument, but to think of
it - are there any real world SSL MITM attacks recorded in the recent
history that caused a severe damage to anyone?

thanks!


Actually, some of the past months "phishing" records qualify as MITM.
