Comodo certificates forged
Computer Fraud & Security · 2011
Penetration by hackers into a reseller of Comodo digital certificates – part of the company's Registration Authority (RA) scheme – has resulted in the forging of SSL certificates for sites such as Skype, Yahoo, Windows Live, Google mail and Mozilla. These certificates could have been used for mounting Man in the Middle (MitM) or phishing attacks if Comodo hadn't responded quickly to prevent it.
