Symantec's auditors, KPMG, completed a scan of CrossCert certificates to
detect potential mis-issuance. On Thursday, January 26, 2017 at 4:08pm PST,
KPMG provided a report that listed 12 problem certificates that were not in
Andrew Ayer's report. We began an investigation into that certificate
problem report at 6:30pm PST Thursday. Six of the certificates contained
numbers in the locality, two were street addresses and four were Bangladeshi
postal codes appended to the city name. Six contained the word "test" in the
organization, but were false positives for legitimate organization names.
 
We completed our investigation of these 12 certificates by requesting
archived documentation. CrossCert was unable to produce documentation to
prove their validation as required under BR 5.4.1. We revoked all 12
certificates within 24 hours of becoming aware of CrossCert's BR 5.4.1
non-compliance. Our investigation continues.
