AI Summary

Telia Company disclosed a misissued certificate with an invalid dnsName due to a trailing space in the FQDN. The issue was reported to Telia on January 25, 2019, but the certificate was not revoked until January 31, 2019. Telia conducted an internal investigation and determined that the misissuance did not pose an urgent security concern. They have since improved their procedures to prevent similar issues, including updates to their CPS and the introduction of a 24/7 email address for urgent reports. The incident report and subsequent actions were communicated to Mozilla, and the case is now resolved.
