DigiNotar certificate security issue

DigiNotar, a Certificate Agent for SSL certificates, issued a valid wildcard certificate - allowing for man-in-the-middle and phishing badness on sites like Gmail without breaking HTTPS and setting off the usual red flags.  Update your software and revoke DigiNotar’s root certificate trust to keep your info safe.  The link includes some more information and instructions on disabling their trusted status on the Mac.
