Dutch DigiNotar Servers Were Fully Hacked

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday October 31, 2012 @08:33AM from the they-don't-fool-around dept.

ChristW writes "The final report that was handed to the Dutch government today indicates that all 8 certificate servers of the Dutch company DigiNotar were fully hacked. (Report PDF in English.) Because the access log files were stored on the same servers, they cannot be used to find any evidence for or against intrusion. In fact, blatant falsification has been found in those log files. A series of so-far unused certificates has also been found. It is unknown if and where these certificates have been used."

In other news, it sounds like someone is going to be setting up an authlog blackhole in the near future...
Did they check their .bash_history ? The silly script kiddie that got into my RH4 box back in the 90s forgot to clean his traces there. I mean, he bothered to run "history -c " , but it didn't actually stop his session from dumping everything there again after he logged out.
