Re: Comodo continues to issue certificates to known Malware
Thread at the Wilders board:

May I quote reply # 34 (from Wolfe) with which I fully agree:
quote:
It al boils down to this (emphasis is mine):
quote:
Today, the biggest issuers of DV certs are Verisign and Godaddy. They have continued issuing DV certs which caused likes of Comodo to offer it as well. If we didn't we would lose customer and the world would have no chance of fight back.
the bolded part from the quote above could well be translated as:
"My competitors in the auto sales branche do provide waranties for cars with failing brakes. Therefore, I must do one and the same, otherwise it would cost me money".
In my book that's by no means a justification; on the contrary. Knowing there's something totally wrong, stating in public one and the same - and persisting in doing the wrong thing can't be justified in any way. Symantics are of no importance here.
Comodo should keep the interest from the public in mind instead of focussing on loosing money/clients themselves. They willingly pick the wrong side.
Wether or not part of the competition is doing one and the same is of no importance; it's Comodo who solely is responsible for their actions. The same goes for the technical relevancy from certificates in question; that is not the real issue at hand here.
