Selected Answer: C
Privacy for Technology book also mentions when DigiNotar, a Dutch CA owned by VASCO Data Security International, apparently issued a certificate for the domain name *.google.com. The problem is that DigiNotar didn’t issue the certificate to Google—it appears that it was issued by the government of Iran, which allegedly used the certificate to spy on Iranian citizens accessing Gmail and Google docs.
