Hackers obtain counterfeit TLS certificates for Google domains
Original: Hackers obtain counterfeit TLS certificates for Google and other large services Compromise of 3 domain registries allows
Attackers compromised three domain registries and used the access to obtain fraudulent TLS certificates for Google and other major services. The unauthorized certificates could let the attackers impersonate trusted websites and intercept traffic. Security researchers are highlighting how registry-level compromise undermines the certificate authority system, and questions are being raised about revocation procedures and how widely the fake certificates were actually used.
Why now: A breach of domain registries enabling forged certificates for major services is a serious internet security incident with broad implications
