Here's something nasty. The firewall where I am working (provided by Palo Alto Networks) can decrypt https and other "secure" traffic passing through it. I believe it auto-negotiates down to TLS 1.1 at which point it can decrypt everything to plain-text and can examine it to its hearts content.

They are supposed to whitelist financial addresses (such as banking details) but would you trust that to be happening?

That's sadly quite normal in corporate networks. It only works because on your computer you have the firewall installed a root CA, though. If you didn't you would immediately be alerted of the man-in-the-middle attack the firewall is doing.
