    FAKE Google web SSL certificates tip-toe out from Indian authorities

    Google is warning that dodgy SSL certificates have been issued by India's National Informatics Centre (NIC): these certs can be used by servers to masquerade as legit Google websites and eavesdrop on or tamper with users' encrypted communications.

    According to this blog post by Google's security team, the Googlers noticed unauthorized certificates for several Google domains popped up last Wednesday – and traced them back to NIC.

    What's concerning is the issuer holds several intermediate CA certificates that are trusted by the Indian Controller of Certifying Authorities (India CCA) and also some Western companies.

    hey, lets be careful out there.
