A Notification from Sectigo
Sectigo recently announced that we will make a change to our issuance practices to remove “static” brand and hosting information from the OU fields of our Domain Validation (DV) certificates. These descriptors include the brand name of the certificate (e.g. “PositiveSSL”) and the name of the hosting provider (e.g. “Hosted by NAME”).

[This guest post originally ran on Let’s Encrypt’s blog on Nov 20, 2019.] Let’s Encrypt launched a Certificate Transparency (CT) log this past spring. We’re excited to share how we built it in hopes that others can learn from what we did. . . Sectigo and Amazon Web Services generously provided support to cover a significant portion of the cost of running our CT log.

A Blog Post from Sectigo
Recent research from PhishLabs shows that more than 50% of phishing sites now use SSL certificates. This fact isn’t really surprising considering that phishing sites depend fundamentally on being confused for the genuine sites they mimic. The closer the phishing site is to the actual site, the more effective it is in its mission. Adding an SSL certificate puts a lock icon and https to the web address; which in their absence, are important tip-offs that the site isn’t on the up and up.
