I found this story by way of Slashdot this morning. I try not to post just every old thing on Slashdot, but this one is too interesting not to highlight on our blog.
Evidently there are several parts of VeriSign's own contracts that Verisign is ignoring in issuing or not revoking certificates that allow drive-by downloads. If you or anyone you know has been a victim of a drive-by download (and isn't that just about everyone?), this should be of interest to you.
Read the article and see what you think. "After reading it, I think VeriSign could help with this problem by enforcing it's existing contracts if it had the will. I would really enjoy reading Versign's response, if any to this article.
I like to be fair and their are two sides to every story. Does Verisign have a credible reason for not doing something about this? Or have they tried and failed? If so why? So many questions...
