  • DigiCert's exposed internal system sat open for over 16 months. A February 2025 migration moved an archive off a VPN-protected network and onto the public internet, where it inherited the customer-facing self-registration flow; outsiders created non-MFA accounts and, via a permissions flaw, browsed archived records. DigiCert spotted the rogue accounts on 18 June 2026 and dismissed them, a researcher escalated on 21 June, access was closed on 2 July, and only on 19 October did it confirm records were read between 27 June and 2 July. Exposed data includes names, business contact details, and in some cases passports, driver's licences and utility bills; CA systems were unaffected (The Register, The Record) (earlier coverage). · Breaches & Incidents
