Dutch CA DigiNotar Hacked
A security breach at DigiNotar (https://www.diginotar.nl — now a dead link) has resulted in the issuance of more than 500 fraudulent SSL certificates.
All major web browsers have since blacklisted all DigiNotar issued certificates and the DigiNotar roots have been removed also.
DigiNotar was declared bankrupt shortly after.
