#AskFedi - I need a new #SMIME #cert for my #email. My old cert has been expired for well over a year now it looks like. Oops. ;-)

Is #GlobalSign still the recommended #CA for globally-trusted SMIME certs?

If not, what CA would you recommend?

#EmailEncryption #EmailSecurity #DigitalSignatures #InfoSec #PKI

20$ and a few days of enthusiasm and work granted a researcher access to way too many moving parts of the mobi. #TLD, because the #whois server domain changed. If I understand it correctly did the researcher simply register the old #domain.

arstechnica.com reports that the user was even able to "rightfully" claim ownership of certificates. The example mentioned is, that he could have claimed authority over "microsoft[.]mobi" of which #GlobalSign is the #certificate #authority.

Recommend to give this article at least a brief read.
