With Symantec joining the ranks of StartSSL and WoSign, they can hardly claim to be "singled out".
PS: It's funny that Symantec's first google hit for "Encryption Everywhere" prompts for my browser's geolocation unsolicited. If your product is trust, maybe you should think a little bit more about how you present your product.
- tajen 10y agoPerhaps StartSSL was a life-size rehearsal of the process, making sure that everything was in order in preparation for Symantec's dismantling. No earlier than this week has Chrome 57 been rolled out. I know that because a customer reported to me that one of my website was distrusted – I had forgotten a StartSSL certificate over there, and sure enough I didn't notice it because I was still on Chrome 56. Sounds like a timely coincidence: If I were Google I would exactly try to distrust a small CA before attacking a bigger monster.
