Apple Leaves Chinese CNNIC Root In OS X and iOS Trusted Stores

Posted by timothy on Thursday April 9, 2015 @03:31AM from the trusted-by-whom dept.

Trailrunner7 writes When it was revealed late last month that a Chinese certificate authority had allowed an intermediate CA to issue unauthorized certificates for some Google domains, both Google and Mozilla reacted quickly and dropped trust in CNNIC altogether. Apple on Wednesday released major security upgrades for both of its operating systems, and the root certificate for CNNIC, the Chinese CA at the heart of the controversy, remains in the trusted stores for iOS and OS X. The company has not made any public statements on the incident or the continued inclusion of CNNIC's certificates in the trusted stores.

It only takes one bad "Apples" to spoil the whole headline.

I believe you mean 'enable all Apple devices for socially harmonious lawful remote management'.
