What country are you in that you can see it? I'm on the Eastern seaboard of the US.

Your DNS may be poisoned. I guess this is another positive argument for SSL cert pinning in browsers so you are less likely to accept the invalid cert

Back up now. The cert was pointing to www.amazon.com, so it was throwing an error for amazon.com. Then, it would generate an SSL Protocol error. Very odd behavior.
