French cybersecurity agency says they forged Google certificates due
to ... "human error"
http://j.mp/1boGSAZ (ANSSI)
"As a result of a human error which was made during a process aimed at
strengthening the overall IT security of the French Ministry of
Finance, digital certificates related to third-party domains which do
not belong to the French administration have been signed by a
certification authority of the DGTrsor (Treasury) which is attached to
the IGC/A."
