Izenpe: Failure to provide a preliminary report within 24 hours
The case concerns Izenpe’s handling of an incident involving two invalid EV certificates (with "France" in the stateOrProvinceName field) that were reported by an external party on June 20, 2020. In response, Izenpe provided an incident report explaining that the initial email to their CPS contact did not reach the correct people due to an incorrectly configured distribution list. Izenpe stated that both affected certificates would be revoked before next Wednesday at 1:45, and it described mitigation steps including training validation operators and developing a script to email validation operators for each certificate issued. The thread also includes Mozilla’s request for a fully complete and compliant final incident report and a follow-up bug created for the incorrect stateOrProvinceName issue. For the specific preliminary-report timing issue, Izenpe later updated its CPS contact to a new i**********s@izenpe.eus distribution list and notified CCADB. The bug is marked RESOLVED with resolution FIXED.
