I once recently loaded up netscape 4 for its bookmark removal
tool and
let it scan for invalid bookmarks. And it found a dozen or so
https
sites with very old certificates which ground the browser to a
halt
rather than just telling me they were invalid. Perhaps they
were a crude
attack, I don't know as I immediately deleted them.
