In order to connect to a web server using the certificate associated with the host and domain name of the web server, your device may be tricked into accepting a different digital certificate than the one associated with that web server. This difference in certificates may be caused by an attacker trying to trick you into accepting a different digital certificate for the connection than the one associated with that web server. If you are not sure whether you are connecting to a valid web server, please check for its certificate by visiting its website and verifying its authenticity.
