French cybersecurity agency says they forged Google certificates due
to ... "human error"

http://j.mp/1boGSAZ  (ANSSI)

   "As a result of a human error which was made during a process aimed at
    strengthening the overall IT security of the French Ministry of
    Finance, digital certificates related to third-party domains which do
    not belong to the French administration have been signed by a
    certification authority of the DGTrsor (Treasury) which is attached to
    the IGC/A."
