My mistake, I'd forgotten that the Forum Policy Violation Board is no longer visible and what I had done was not transparent.

The original topic has been restored, less the offending posts.

   Comodo issues fraudulent Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, Skype, Yahoo certificates

Sal: Thanks, I should had thought of that sooner. Smiley

Haha... not my account though.

@mods: Would be nice to split the stuff from the original thread and move it here.

No..?? Did they ban you and leave your account running, or what..??

See below. (No, I don't need the account back, haven't been there for like 2 years).

@Asyn okay ;)

Hmm guys... I see a major problem here, the "other" doctornotor is saying that FF4 RC2 was justified to block fraulent certificates. Fair enough... but FF has its own certificate store while Chrome is using Windows/IE store... and as far as I'm concerned unless MS sends an update through Windows Update IE8/9 and Chrome are vulnerable. Got to say that the ZDnet article is ...hmm... worrying

ps: lol, funny I updated to RC2 a few days ago and the only thing I found was that Mozilla corrected a last minute bug... but the article didn't say what... I didn't really care and should have searched other places...

Already out as critical update on WU and WSUS. Also manual d/l via http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2524375 (from XP up to Server 2008 R2)

P.S. IE and Chrome is doing it the right way (TM) - bundling its own certificates crap is plain wrong, and nightmare to manage in business environment.

yeah I just saw that in the article:
Quote
Microsoft has pushed out an update for all supported versions of Windows to help address this issue and notes that no action is required from Windows users with automatic update enabled.  The company’s advisory contains instructions on manually applying the update.

edit: KB2524375 (W7/64) already available directly from Windows update.

Apparently the morons @ Comodo have not heard about DNSSEC yet either; ugh.  ::)

Quote from: Melih the victim of Iranian govt.
If there was a secure and trusted DNS this issue would be a moot point! We need a Secure and Trusted DNS!

Now we are living in a new era where people who provide Authentication to end users are target for State-funded entities! Its a new era indeed.....brace yourselves....
