Android Central Question

Android says: "Your secure network traffic may be monitored or modified". How could I find the probl

My wifi was disabled. My mobile network was enabled and connected to the same provider as always (Tele2 Russia). Also, I see no user certificates listed under "trusted certificates"->"user".
Now, I don't perform any actions with my phone and occasionally get a notification saying: "A certificate authority is installed on this device. Your secure network traffic may be monitored or modified.". There's only an "ok" button in the notification. After pressing it, the information is gone forever and I can't find a trace of it now.

My questions are:
1. Should I bother or not, where else may I try searching for the problem certificate?
2. Is it possible to make that the dialog shows a problem certificate so I could check it's not a malicious software that installed it?

Thnx!

If it's coming from a website, connecting to that website will trigger it again. If you don't see it again, it could be some site that's trying to get you to click on something that's supposed to "protect" you from "being monitored or modified", but is really just a way for the owner of the site to get you to download some malware.

I'd wait to see if it happened again and, if it does, not be so quick to dismiss it. (Checking that site from a computer might tell you something.)

I have similar problem .. I don't perform any actions with my phone and occasionally get a notification saying: "A certificate authority is installed on this device. Your secure network traffic may be monitored or modified.". There's only an "ok" button in the notification. After pressing it, the information is gone forever and I can't find a trace of it now.
I will need urgent advice?
