Former owners Diginotar made to pay for fiasco (Dutch)
- wlesieutre 12y agoIf the name doesn't ring a bell, DigiNotar was a CA whose root certificates were used to sign some bad things, like certs for ..com, ..org, addons.mozilla.org, sis.gov.uk, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, and Windows Update. (Should be asterisks in there, how do you make HN display them instead of doing formatting?) All of their certificates were blacklisted by major browsers and OSes, causing security warnings on all of the legitimate websites using DigiNotar certificates.
