The tally of digital certificates stolen from a Dutch company in July has exploded to more than 500, including ones for intelligence services like the CIA, the U.K.s MI6 and Israels Mossad, a Mozilla developer said Sunday.

The confirmed count of fraudulently-issued SSL secure socket layer certificates now stands at 531, said Gervase Markham, a Mozilla developer who is part of the team that has been working to modify Firefox to blocks all sites signed with the purloined certificates.
