Heard about this last night. Ouch!

 

[Jokester]

Oops.

 

[theheyes]

Disappointing response from Opera.

 

[gothic_hobbit]

Doh !

 

[Philtor]

It's an old certificate they obtained. The fact they infiltrated the network is very worrying however. Disgruntled employee perhaps? Good job I use Opera and Waterfox.

people are still using opera? the new release threads are always hilariously full of usability issues that no sane person would put up with.

This is the future of malware by the way.

For those who have ever said 'I only ever use trusted websites/sources' and put all their eggs in that basket - they're coming for you

 

[quackers]

oops, I wonder if we'll see better details of how the breach occured?
