Verisign gives impostor Microsoft digital signatures

NEWS Armed with the certificates, the impostor is potentially able to send virus-ridden software across the internet. Reports on Reuters suggest that both Verisign and Microsoft are now on the case. Microsoft will next week issue patches for users to download that will enable them to weed-out the fake certificates. More importantly, Verisign claimed that there is no evidence that the certificates have been used and has cancelled them.
