Hacking attempt on my Hotmail Accound Again!

Well, here's that mysterious Hacking attempt on my Hotmail Accound Again! Pop3.live.com, is sending a Cirtificate, which attempts to identify itself with the wrong information (the wrong site). It's been Poping up in Thunderbird a couple times a Day for the last 3 or 4 days. I've had this happen before and I did some research. I found some different ideas on what is really happening. Whither it is a malfunction on the Hotmail Servers or an Actual Hacking Attempt.... To be on the Safe Side... I allways hit Cancel! I Posted a short wanring on my Blog last time, here... Friday, January 14, 2011 - It looks like someone is trying to Hijack my Hotmail Account. Watch out for this!:O. But, I just posted some screen shots, like these and a Warning... There was also an Outage on the Hotmail Servers about that time. Hotmail users lose entire email inboxes, Microsoft restores them 5 days later. So, I'm thinking that the outage and Restoration, may have caused a new Cirtificate to be sent, then and it could be happining again. But, I don't know why it would be Tagged as Dangerous by Thunderbird. I don't see anyting that sounds Spacific to what I see in my Thunderbird Pop-ups. So, I'm just going to keep hitting Cancel, and see if it gets fixed by the Hotmail Server or a Thunderbird Update... Here's some info, that I found on Security Protocals, often used in E-Mail Clients...

Transport Layer Security

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols that provide communication security over the Internet.[1] TLS and SSL encrypt the segments of network connections above the Transport Layer, using asymmetric cryptography for privacy and a keyed message authentication code for message reliability.

Several versions of the protocols are in widespread use in applications such as web browsing, electronic mail, Internet faxing, instant messaging and voice-over-IP (VoIP).

TLS is an IETF standards track protocol, last updated in RFC 5246, and is based on the earlier SSL specifications developed by Netscape Communications.[2]
