  Microsoft Security Bulletin (MS01-017): Erroneous VeriSign-Issued Digital Certificates Pose Spoofing Hazard
Time: 15:40 EST/20:40 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein

VeriSign, Inc., recently advised Microsoft that on January 30 and 31, 2001, it issued two VeriSign Class 3 code-signing digital certificates to an individual who fraudulently claimed to be a Microsoft employee. The common name assigned to both certificates is “Microsoft Corporation”. The ability to sign executable content using keys that purport to belong to Microsoft would clearly be advantageous to an attacker who wished to convince users to allow the content to run.
