CFCA: Internal iPAddress in certificate
The China Financial Certification Authority (CFCA) issued a certificate containing a reserved IP address, which is a violation of the Baseline Requirements. The issue was reported to CFCA on January 28, 2019, and they promptly initiated a review. CFCA contacted the customer, Standard Chartered Bank, and agreed to revoke the certificate after the Spring Festival holidays to avoid service disruptions. The certificate was revoked on February 20, 2019, after successful testing of a replacement. CFCA has since implemented measures to prevent future occurrences, including system updates and enhanced training for staff.
