Apple: Intermediate CA certificates omitted from audit statement

Apple Inc. reported an incident where three of its EV Sub-CAs were omitted from the recently issued WebTrust audit statement. The omission was identified following a notification from their root vendor, DigiCert, prompting an internal review. Apple confirmed that the omission was an unintended clerical error and that the audits had correctly covered the omitted CAs. Amended audit statements were subsequently issued and published. Apple has since updated its quality review procedures to prevent similar issues in the future.
