Hackers obtain counterfeit TLS certificates for major web services

Original: Hackers obtain counterfeit TLS certificates for Google and other large services

Security researchers report that hackers have obtained fraudulent TLS certificates impersonating Google and other major online services. Such certificates could allow attackers to intercept traffic or serve fake versions of trusted sites without browser warnings. The incident raises fresh questions about weaknesses in the certificate authority system that underpins HTTPS trust across the web.

Why now: Trust in HTTPS depends on certificate authorities, so counterfeit certificates for Google undermine core web security and worry users and security professionals.
