And – Symantec answer
Since my last post, the effects of the recent DigiNotar breach have spread across the security industry. Many media outlets recently shared some of the names of the 531 fraudulent certificates created, including Google, Facebook, Skype, Microsoft, as well as each of the major certificate authorities. A hacker has claimed responsibility for the breach and claims to have breached some other Certificate Authorities as well. GlobalSign has ceased issuing certificates as it investigates whether or not it has been breached. Pundits are questioning the strength of SSL. Then, yesterday a Dutch government agency erroneously made a statement that Thawte had been breached. Although the statement was proven false and quickly retracted, it highlights the fear and knee-jerk reactive actions proliferating as a result.
