DigiCert: Incorrect OrgID in S/MIME certificates for one customer

DigiCert · RESOLVED
AI Summary

DigiCert identified an issue with 70,204 S/MIME certificates containing an incorrect organization identifier for a government entity. This problem arose from a previous bug fix that did not account for non-German certificates. The error was detected during an internal audit, leading to a swift revocation of the affected certificates. DigiCert has since implemented additional checks to prevent recurrence of this issue.
