I wonder if its the same sophistication that was used on RSA.

certificates have been blacklisted by Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, and
Apple."

Neither my MacBook nor iPod and iPad have taken updates. I don't
believe Apple has taken any action yet. And there's been some
confusion on the FedTalk mailing list - Apple OSes appear to be using
the certs despite the fact that folks are manually untrusting and
disabling them (because Apple has not acted)
