After Debian's epic SSL blunder, a world of hurt for security pros (Register)

Here's an article in The Register on the aftermath of the Debian openssl vulnerability. "Among the weak SSL certificates at time of publication is this one belonging to Whitehouse.gov. It's of little consequence, since the site doesn't conduct secure transactions, but it does show the ubiquity of the problem. The key is owned by content delivery provider Akamai Technologies and is used by about 20,000 websites. Akamai is in the process of replacing it."
