The development is significant because it involves AV company Lavasoft and Comodo, a company that issues roughly one-third of the Internet's Transport Layer Security certificates, making it the world's biggest certificate authority.

Post of mine from another related thread:

Here is the statement by LavaSoft on the issue.

It appears that it was only their Web Companion product that was impacted, at least as far as they've disclosed.

Nothing on their website about this so I guess unless you just happen to stumble on this Facebook post you're not going to hear about the issue. Not exactly a full-disclosure situation.
