Security Advisory: Vendor Breach Results in Browser Updates
Earlier this week, Comodo, a service provider of Carnegie Mellon, experienced a security breach. According to details published by Comodo, this breach was the result of a compromised username and password that a customer used to access services. As a result of Comodo detection and remediation, this breach does not impact security controls at Carnegie Mellon. While this security breach does not directly impact Carnegie Mellon, it could potentially impact services provided by Google, Microsoft Live, Mozilla, Skype and Yahoo who were all targeted in this breach.
