And for VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority – G5 was
supposed to be distrusted by Microsoft on May 21st 2019.

However, Microsoft remains trusting this Root certificate until Aug 23rd 2023.
And distrusted this root certificate yesterday.
Why did it take 4 years?
- briffle 3y agothe author made a guess in the next paragraph: When it comes to SSL certificates this change entirely makes sense, however for file trust this is problematic, as previously signed files can’t simply have the certificate updated on them in the same way websites can. This is likely why Microsoft trusted this root certificate for much longer in Microsoft Windows than browser vendors did. But until we hear from Microsoft, I guess we won't know for sure.
