Digicert: SMIME certificate with unvalidated information

RESOLVED DigiCert
AI Summary

DigiCert identified a single SMIME certificate issued with unvalidated information on February 20, 2024. The certificate was promptly revoked, and an investigation revealed that it was issued from a disaster recovery system running outdated code. The incident was quickly contained, and no other certificates were found to be affected. DigiCert has since implemented measures to ensure compliance with the S/MIME BRs and prevent similar occurrences in the future.
