AI Summary

The case involves PKIoverheid's CIBG discovering an issue with insufficient entropy in the serial numbers of TLS certificates it issued. The CA became aware of the problem through discussions in the Mozilla security policy forum and initiated an investigation. Following the discovery, CIBG identified that approximately 4,129 certificates were affected. CIBG successfully revoked the problematic certificates by October 8, 2019, with a few exceptions due to their use in critical healthcare systems. The issue has been resolved with all affected certificates revoked.
