Dude, akamai.net has been used by Newegg for years....have always seen that in the secure areas, like account, along the bottom bar as the page loads, and have seen it for a looooooooong time, years before this DNS scare came out. It's NOT fake.....just servers Newegg uses. Always have used them, probably always will.
And here's another thing....when viewing my authorized certs in Firefox, akamai.net is NOT under Authorities (where your SSL-type certs are), like VeriSign (RSA) or COMODO or Equifax or Thawte or any other cert.
It's under Servers, like DirecTV's or Wachovia's or Secure Business Services (NCIXUS's), to name a few in mine......which makes sense because that's what it is....it's being utilized by Newegg as a server.
And according to Firefox, I've had a248.e.akamia.net on my server list for over two years in its current listing......well before your "fake" alert was yelled!
THANK YOU! That's what I was trying to say, you just put it a lot better.

Exactly Newegg doesn't use them Therfore the site I was at was not legit!!!
Just becuase a site has an SSL certifcate doesn't mean it's a valid one for the site you are at
Did you miss that paragraph two posts up? #1 They do use Akamai, #2 Half the fucking internet's got one thing or another hosted at Akamai, #3 They did NOT issue the certificate, because they don't. They're hosting shit for Newegg, and Apple, and Yahoo, and so on.
Thanks for the scare, Fox News...
