Apple security update addresses DigiNotar certificates

Apple has rolled out security update 2011-005 (Lion) and security update 2011-005 (Snow Leopard), which addresses the certificate trust policy regarding DigiNotar certificates. The update removes DigiNotar from the list of trusted root certificates, the list of Extended Validation certificate authorities and configuring the default system trust settings so DigitNotar certificates -- those issued by DigitNotar itself and other authorities -- are not trusted.

These downloads are available through Apple's support site and via Software Update.

Since the Islamic Government in Iran hacked that so called DigiNotar certificate and tried to steal the passwords from ordinary people, now it's very important to remove this hacked certificate, or you'll expose your password to them.

They are just wasting the Oil money for these stupid actions and call them Cyber victories.

Spoke to AppleCare about this last night. They said it's a non-issue, that the OS is safe. This update definitely contradicts that story.
