    @winterknight1337@infosec.exchange diginotar was an ssl signing authority, kinda like verisign. they were hacked and their secret material was revealed, resulting in the complete loss of the business. they had to close up shop because they were hacked so badly. its one of the few occurences of this happening ever, and makes for a fun story for people who dont give a shit about security.
