The certificates were issued by Comodo, an Internet security solutions firm.
Comodo explained the certificates theft in a blog posting on Wednesday. “We believe these are politically motivated, state driven/funded attacks,” said Melih Abdulhayoglu, the CEO and founder of Comodo. “One of the origins of the attack that we experienced is from Iran,” he added.
