Mozilla, Microsoft drop TrustCor as root certificate authority
Mozilla and Microsoft have taken action against a certificate authority accused of having close ties to a US military contractor that allegedly paid software developers to embed data-harvesting malware in mobile apps.After a lengthy discussion between staff at Mozilla and Apple, security researchers and the CA itself, Mozilla program managersaid the org's concerns were"substantiated" enough to set a distrust date of November 30 for TrustCor's root certificates.
The infected apps included a speed camera radar, Muslim prayer apps, QR scanner, weather app and more. Per the pair, Measurement Systems' website was registered by Vostrom Holdings, which does business as Packet Forensics, a company Reardon said sells lawful intercept products to government agencies. Reardon emphasized that he had"no evidence that Trustcor has done anything wrong" or"has been anything other than a diligent competent certificate authority."
