SSL Certificate

The Internet security solutions vendor Comodo posted this week a statement that says “it requested an independent third-party notify VeriSign of a security vulnerability affecting its customers Web sites, including a major financial institution.” Comodo found webpages used to process customer security certificates, a practice, it claims, puts some of the biggest names on the web at risk of serious targeted attacks.

An online investment project ReProFinance announced that it had increased the security of their investors with a new SSL certificate.

Effective immediately the new 256 bit single Root SSL certificate issued by Equifax Secure CA encrypts all investors’ transactions inside their member area. The certificate was issued for making the connecting between ReProFinance website and a user.

“In every detail of our business we are looking forward to make a dream of profitable and stable investment fund come true,” says ReProFinance.

 SSL, or the Secure Sockets Layer system that is widely used to protect Web traffic against data theft was found vulnerable to hacking attacks. The system that is mainly used for online banking, shopping, and any other https connection appears to have a flaw that allows an attacker to break into any theoretically secured connection and add malicious commands.
