Am I reading it wrong or did someone spoof a request to the terminal server licensing service? Or was it because they were relying on old compromised SHA1 algorithms?

Considering that in this case the "public end users" are the ones who are most at risk due to this vulnerability, I think its fair game that this be a public disclosure. i.e. people should delete this browser add on (and anything signable w

Has there been any talk about which company received the subordinated cert? The excuse for it being used in an internal network only doesn't really hold any weight due to the ability to install custom certs on all web browsers.

Congrats to designcrowd on the funding, however it seems like a clone of 99designs. IMHO I'd think there's a market for a different take on crowd sourced design, especially seeing as though there's such a huge backlash from the anti-spec w
