Microsoft Releases Security Advisory

micrsoft

 

This week Microsoft released a security advisory warning that one of their trusted Root Certification Authority Partners-Comodo, issued 9 fraudulent digital certificates for some very popular domains including:

  • login.live.com
  • mail.google.com
  • login.yahoo.com
  • login.skype.com
  • addons.mozilla.org
  • “Global Trustee”

While Comodo has already revoked the fraudulent certificates, Microsoft released a Windows update that revokes these signatures.  If you have enabled automatic updates, you may have already received it.  Otherwise be sure to click download and install it.
