DigiCert · CLOSED

AI Summary

DigiCert experienced a significant incident involving the delayed revocation of over 83,000 certificates due to a validation flaw. Initially required to revoke these certificates within 24 hours, DigiCert extended the revocation period to 120 hours after determining that some customers faced exceptional circumstances. This decision led to a flood of requests for delays, complicating the situation further. DigiCert has since implemented measures to improve its incident response processes and promote automation among its customers to prevent similar issues in the future.
