      A major issuer of secure socket layer (SSL) certificates
      acknowledged on Wednesday that it had issued 9 fraudulent SSL
      certificates to seven Web domains, including those for
      Google.com, Yahoo.com and Skype.com following a security
      compromise at an affiliate firm. The attack originated from an
      IP address in Iran, according to a statement from Comodo Inc.
