Certificate Breach: 3 Lessons

A 13-page audit of DigiNotar reveals security gaps and gaffes that could have been avoided. 531 counterfeit certificates were issued, and more than 50 common names are believed to have been copied by hackers. Among the list of those 50 or so names are Google, Skype, Microsoft, WordPress, Equifax, Mozilla, Mozilla and WindowsUpdate.com. Most of the online users who were being rerouted to counterfeit sites resided in Iran. The audit report does not aim to offer suggestions for improving or changing certificate-issuing practices.”]
