• Microsoft issues warning for stolen Verisign Certificate
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-017.asp
People should click the hyperlinked "Microsoft Corporation" name to get more information on the certificate. If the "Valid from" field starts with either a
Jan. 29, 2001, date or a Jan. 30,

Microsoft has asked anyone finding such a certificate to contact it at secure@microsoft.com.
