[Tfug] Convergence.io and SSL

Probably ancient news, but:

I recently changed webhosts, to justhost.com (comments?)  During the migration 
I was refreshing my browser and checking my email alot.  This was all during 
the SSL crisis.  :)

I did notice one of my last couple Debian updates included a Google ca-
certificate rm, probably of DigiNotar (this was weeks ago, before they were 
completely eliminated as an issuer). DigiNoart was then cited by name, as 
"Does not exist," meaning a certificate.

Now, I can't get rid of a  Comcast favicon from appearing on the Chrome tab of 
the frontpage of my blog (from my home deskop); so subsequently installed the 
latest Firefox (=no favicon).  

For fun, I installed the Convergence.io software, and am now using it in place 
of ca's (occasionally).

Any comments? 

I had switched web hosts and felt a bit hacked in the  
process since I was later getting a lot of Facebook friend requests  
everyday from individuals with Arabic names and some vicious phishing  
attacks (tempting) from .ae.  Lol

I'm guessing it didn't help that I was hitting the browser refresh button 
multiple times for the 24-48hrs during the propagation, that's when I picked 
up that Comcast favicon -which cannot be found, BTW.  And get this,  Justhost 
tech support suggested my desktop Debian installation might be hacked!  

No way, correct??
