So did they decide what to do with the TrustWave-case? Are they forgiven for their confession? That seems to be the implication of this announcement.


Makes you wonder what actually happened with TrustWave (there's obviously more to it than "Oh, this was an ethical dilemma so we stopped."). Probably their customer found a way into the intermediate CA private key and was being naughty with it.

What I think sparked Mozilla is TrustWave's claim that this kind of thing is widespread and commonplace among CA's. That's shouldn't surprise anyone, though.
