US-CERT Alert: Alert (TA15-120A) Securing End-to-End Communications

From US-CERT:

Alert (TA15-120A) Securing End-to-End Communications

Securing end-to-end communications plays an important role in protecting privacy and preventing some forms of man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. Recently, researchers described a MITM attack used to inject code, causing unsecured web browsers around the world to become unwitting participants in a distributed denial-of-service attack. That same code can be employed to deliver an exploit for a particular vulnerability or to take other arbitrary actions.

Strongly recommended for both novice & expert InfoSec practitioners.  Contains useful info on how to use various technologies to mitigate man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.
