PKIoverheid: (KPN) Incorrect Subject OrganizationName

RESOLVED FIXED Government of The Netherlands, PKIoverheid (Logius)
AI Summary

The PKIoverheid CA identified an issue with 16 certificates that incorrectly listed the organization name as 'Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs test', which does not correspond to the Dutch trade register. The problem was first reported on December 6, 2021, and the certificates were revoked on December 16, 2021. KPN, the issuing entity, has since amended its validation procedures to prevent similar issues in the future. A post-mortem report was filed, and guidelines for validation have been formalized.
