Microsoft Revokes Trust in 28 of Its Own Certificates

http://j.mp/OYlE2K  (Threatpost)

   "In the wake of the Flame malware attack, which involved the use of a
    fraudulent Microsoft digital certificate, the software giant has
    reviewed its certificates and found nearly 30 that aren't as secure as
    the company would like and has revoked them. Microsoft also released
    its new updater for certificates as a critical update for Windows
    Vista and later versions as part of today's July Patch Tuesday."
