DigiCert: Domain validation skipped

DigiCert reported a significant incident where domain validation was inadvertently skipped during the issuance of 123 OV and 36 EV certificates. This issue arose from a patch applied to a storefront system that bypassed the new domain validation process. The problem was identified during an escape analysis, leading to the revocation of the affected certificates within 24 hours. DigiCert has committed to improving their testing and validation processes to prevent similar incidents in the future.
