[Tech ARP] Spy Virus Compromises Microsoft Digital Security Certificates

[news 28]

Dear editor,

 

We have just posted an editorial titled "Spy Virus Compromises

Microsoft Digital Security Certificates"

 

Quote : Microsoft has revealed that the highly sophisticated Flame

espionage virus has compromised Microsoft's own security system to

forge its own digital security certificates! These certificates

authenticate online transactions, making it easier for the Flame virus

to spread undetected by anti-virus scanners.

 

Microsoft has already fixed the security breach and marked those

compromised digital security certificates as "untrustworthy". However,

you will still need to download the "certificate revocation list

update" to prevent Windows from accepting these compromised

certificates. It is now available as an update for Windows 7

(KB2718704)...
