DigiCert: CAA Checking Issue

DigiCert identified a significant issue where 1053 certificates were issued without proper CAA record checks due to a failure in their internal CAA checking service. This problem was discovered on April 29, 2019, and a fix was implemented the same day to prevent further issuance under similar conditions. The CA has since revoked the affected certificates and is enhancing their processes to ensure compliance with CAA requirements.
