DigiNotar, CIA, MI6, Mossad hacked by Iran
http://webwereld.nl/nieuws/107812/ka...r-rapport.html
Unfortunately this article is in Dutch, but i'll give you the main points.
DigiNotar is a Dutch company that provides website or domain certificates for a lot of government websites in the Netherlands. FOX-IT is a Dutch cybercrimespecialist company that helped capture the Armenian who made the world largest spambot network.
FOX-IT has discovered that Diginotar had been hacked along with some other certificate companies. Apparently they've been hacked as early as 2009. DigiNotar discovered the security breach on the 19th of juli of 2011 and informed the authorities, the authorities called in FOX-IT. It is unknown how many false certificates have been issued, what is known that the security of sites like digid and the OV-chipcard has been compromised. Digid is used in the Netherlands to identify citizens on the internet, who want for instance to fill in their tax form. FOX-IT inquiry also revealed that false certificates also surfaced on the internet. Google has found more than 300 false certificates, including government related websites outside of the Netherlands, such as Israeli Mossad, the British MI6, and the CIA. So it appears that the FOX-IT rapport only shows the tip of the iceberg of what the Iranians have been up to for the past years. FOX-IT beliefs that the security breach of digid may be used to track down Iranian dissidents who currently reside in the Netherlands.
Looks like the Iranian government has been up to no good... again... how many more acts of cyber-warfare will our governments put up with, before they act?
