Comodo Takes Security Seriously... Wait, What?

October 04, 2019 by Marc Handelman in Security Incompetence, Security Heal Thyself, Security Failure, Information Insecurity

via Zach Whittaker, writing at Techcrunch, comes this interesting piece, describing a 'cybersecurity' company's (in this case - Comodo) abject faliure to protect it's own web presence (from a recently reported - and fixed-by-the-vendor flaw). A nearly perfect example of as to why security companies are generally distrusted (at least around here...).

Oh, and the ostensible cause? The highly reported on VBulletin Flaw (now fixed). However, the true cause was (and I assert still must be) gross incompetence displayed by Comodo, and of which, is certainly not the first time this company has appeared swimming in the murky sea of questionable practices, and behaviors indicative of criminality.
