Hackers Get TLS Certificates for Google via Hijacked Domains
Original: Hackers Obtain Unauthorized TLS Certificates for Google via Hijacked Domains
Hackers have managed to obtain unauthorized TLS certificates for Google domains by hijacking domains that were used to prove control during certificate validation. The certificates could allow attackers to impersonate Google sites and intercept traffic, raising serious questions about how certificate authorities verify domain ownership and about the security of the domain validation process overall.
Why now: The potential for attackers to impersonate Google and intercept encrypted traffic makes this a major web security concern.
