Around 300,000 unique IP addresses from Iran requested access to google.com using a rogue certificate issued by Dutch digital certificate authority DigiNotar. The rogue certificate was issued on July 10 by Dutch certificate authority. Google said on Aug. 29 that it received reports of “attempted SSL man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks” against Google users, whereby someone tried to get between them and encrypted Google services. Trend Micro said on Monday that a significant part of Internet users who loaded the SSL certificate verification URL (uniform resource locator) were from Iran.”]
