Safari, malicious script, platform.twitter.com

I am hitting this warning in Safari on two Macs, MacPro and Powerbook

Safari can't verify the identity of the website platform.twitter.com

Adobe said it may be a "malicious script" but offered no further help (it triggers on their forum and some other nonAdobe sites.


I Emptied Safari's Cache and cleared all cookies -- happens again.


Anyone know what might be triggering this, what to look for in source code, how to stop it.


Both Macs (a PPC and an Intel) are running Safari, OSX 10.4.11 — the Mac Pro is Safari 4.1.3 — all updates have been applied.


Thanks in advance...

I'm not running Little Snitch and I've been having this problem for the past week or so with Safari. It pops up on different websites (ones with twitter widgets, I assume).
I've tried logging out of my twitter - no luck

I've tried deleting cookies, emptying cache - no luck

I've tried restarting - no luck

I could just accept the certificate and tell it to "accept all from platform.twitter.com in the future" but I'm worried I shouldn't.


Anyone have any ideas why this is happening or a way to fix it?

When I clicked "Never Trust" it asked for the password to my computer. If this is something malicious I certainly don't want to give it my password. Any thoughts?

I'm getting this message on such a variety of sites. Could it simply be something is messed up with Twitter? With the Twitter link on these sites?
