security bulletin

Apparently they released a couple of verisign certificates to some malcontents. Since most poeple have thier pc's set to trust microsoft this could be trouble.

Microsoft didn't screw up. Verisign did.



<< VeriSign, Inc., recently advised Microsoft that on January 30 and 31, 2001, it issued two VeriSign Class 3 code-signing digital certificates to an individual who fraudulently claimed to be a Microsoft employee. >>



You should read the material before automatically attacking.
