Sure, but don't you think it's important that they make this clear?

So far they market heavily on the fact that it's secure when this is simply not true.

If you read their security page, they do say you shouldn't use it if you don't trust them. But that's about it for any warning that you're basically sitting there naked.

I know no security system is entirely secure, but they aren't generally targeting security minded folks, they're targeting the layman who reads what they say and then thinks they're secure due to their weasel worded security page.

Meh. Should every site using HTTPS make it clear that hundreds of CAs whom you've never heard of have the capability to perform a MITM?

At least with MEGA you know the security framework is something they've engineered themselves, so you know you have to trust them. With SSL/TLS you're deferring to authority simply because it's convenient.

You still have to trust SSL, in the case of MEGA, COMODO is their CA, and they appear to use 128bit RC4.

Of course, if you've not cleaned your trusted certificates, someone like CNic can just MTIM you.
