IIRC we've received it on tails@. Sadly I've deleted that email
already :/

The commit that switches this mirror to HTTPS dates back from June 8,
so either it was pushed only later (after the 3.0 release), or we have
another problem.
But wait, IIRC the HTTPS error was about *pinning*, and the only
pinning our add-on does is for downloading the IDF and mirror pool
info from our website. That might be another hint that suggests the
problem at hand is unrelated to the content of mirrors.json.
Perhaps these users were "simply" man-in-the-middle'd.
