Hackers spied on 300,000 Iranians using fake Google certificate

About 300,000 Iranians had their Gmail accounts compromised and their messages read by hackers. Dutch forensics firm Fox-IT investigated the theft of hundreds of digital certificates from a Dutch company. The company says 99% of those IP addresses originated in Iran. Some security researchers have suspected that Iran’s government was behind the certificate theft and subsequent attack. The Dutch government is investigating DigiNotar for possible negligence in the case, according to a letter to the Dutch parliament made public on Monday. The report confirms what Google said last week that Gmail users had been attacked.”]
