Dutch Certificate Authority KPN/Getronics has announced the suspension of the issuance of digital certificates.
The reason for this is that a breach has been discovered on a KPN web server related to PKI. The attack dates back no less than four years.
KPN, best known for its telecom business, acquired Getronics four years ago. Former Getronics has a certificate authority similar to Diginotar. Like Diginotar, KPN is allowed to issue 'special' certificates for the Dutch government and public services. In fact, many organizations affected by the Diginotar incident switched to KPN certificates.
