They should switch to a better cipher suite to enable PFS[1] (ex: ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256). Right now they're using RC4-SHA:

    $ echo | openssl s_client -debug  -connect en.wikipedia.org:443 | grep "Cipher is"  -A 4
    depth=1 C = US, O = DigiCert Inc, OU = www.digicert.com, CN = DigiCert High Assurance CA-3
    verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate
    verify return:0
    DONE
    New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is RC4-SHA
    Server public key is 2048 bit
    Secure Renegotiation IS supported
    Compression: NONE
    Expansion: NONE
