If they managed to break https (SLL) then they would be bl0ody good programmers/mathamatitions. I really dont think we have to worry about the https being profiled as its all but impossible to do - the only way to do it usually is by back door attacks, not man in the middle - so I really dont think we need to wory about our banking transactions.

Unless your bank doesnt use https - but if this were the case - I would dump that bank ASAP!
