Eight compromised TLS certificates put the web on alert
Original: The Internet goes on high alert after discovery of 8 compromised TLS certs
Security researchers have found eight compromised intermediate TLS certificates that could allow attackers to mint valid web credentials for any Internet server. Because intermediate certificates sit high in the chain of trust, the flaw potentially undermines HTTPS protections across the web. Ars Technica's report is spreading quickly, with readers urging browser makers and certificate authorities to revoke the affected credentials quickly.
Why now: The certificates could let attackers impersonate virtually any website, making this an urgent internet-wide security concern.
