[ NNSquad ] Comodo Says Two More Registration Authorities Compromised


<https://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/comodo-says-two-more-registration-authorities-compromised-033011>

'Officials at Comodo have acknowledged that an additional two
registration authorities affiliated with the company have been
compromised in the wake of the high-profile attack on the company that
was disclosed last week. However, no forged certificates were issued
as a result of the new attacks.

In a message on a discussion thread set up after the original attack
on a Comodo registration authority, Robin Alden, CTO of Comodo, said
that the company has discovered two fresh compromises of its
affiliated RAs during the investigation into the first attack. Alden
did not furnish any other details about the new compromises.

"Two further RA accounts have since been compromised and had RA
privileges withdrawn.  No further mis-issued certificates have
resulted from those compromises," Alden said in the message about the
new RA compromises. '
