Please note this email topic is just for releasing the news that WoSign new system passed the security audit, just for demonstration that we finished item 5: " 5. Provide auditor[3] attestation that a full security audit of the CA’s issuing infrastructure has been successfully completed. " " [3] The auditor must be an external company, and approved by Mozilla. " NOT for the new root inclusion application.

Provide a list of changes that the CA plans to implement to ensure that there are no future violations of Mozilla Policy and the Baseline Requirements." One of these changes is to remove the person responsible for: 1. Releasing unsecured and not fully tested software that allowed issuing certificates for Github without proper checks. 2. Back-dating SHA1 certificates. 3. Secretly purchasing another CA without disclosing it to Mozilla. 4. Actively lying and misleading about 2 and 3. To my understanding, from reading the "Remediation Plan", one of the requirements made for WoSign by itself/parent company, is to remove the person responsible for most of the issue caused them to lose the trust bit. I'm not in *any* position to tell who shell manage the daily operations of WoSign, but it gives a strong indication that nothing had really changed.
