Comodo hacker claims credit for DigiNotar attack

The hacker responsible for a stunning attack on a Dutch company that issues security certificates for websites warned on Monday that he would “strike back again,” after previously breaching another company earlier this year.

The hacker posted the warning on Pastebin under the handle “Comodohacker.” The same account was used earlier this year to describe the attack on Comodo, which sells SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificates, a crucial Internet security component used to secure encrypted communication between a computer and a website.
