VeriSign revealed to have suffered repeated security breaches in 2010

It took some digging through more than 2,000 pages of SEC documents, but Reuters revealed today that VeriSign was attacked "repeatedly" by hackers in 2010, and that some undisclosed information was stolen from the company. The biggest danger there is is that the DNS records that the company manages -- which ensure that URLs take you to the correct website were also taken -- but VeriSign says that its executives "do not believe these attacks breached the servers that support our Domain Name System network." As Reuters notes, however, the company isn't ruling anything out. More information on the attack is hard to come by but it's reported that VeriSign's security staff did not notify top management until September of 2011 -- although they are said to have "responded" to the attacks themselves. See what happens, many companies that you trust cannot be trusted.
