Apple sent out 3 bulletins and OS updates today (iOS 6.1.3, iOS 7.0.6, and Apple TV 6.0.2) all fixing a bug that would potentially allow SSL/TLS connections to be vulnerable to undetected man-in-the-middle attacks.  All three updates share the same CVE number CVE-2014-1266.  The Apple Security updates page does not yet appear to have the updates listed there, but they should be there shortly (may be there by the time you read this).  If you have an Apple device running iOS 6 or 7 or Apple TV, you should probably apply these updates ASAP.

There is -nothing- at the site you reference with today's date:
- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222
... last entry is dated 11 Feb 2014.

And another thing: is it "official" that they've quit posting on (what was supposed to be) their "monthly" mailing lists?

When I refreshed the HT1222 page an hour ago, the new ones showed up. I don't know about the archives for the security-announce list, but I'm subscribed to the actual list and that's where I first saw the bulletins, so the list is still active.
Thank you! - Here's what I found now:
