Like the out sourcing of medical records transcription to India where the out sourcing company had one of their employees take the records and post them on the Internet for all to read? Out sourcing is still done and done will little regard to security in some cases. Until both sides of the coin are made to pay for stupid/criminal acts this will continue to make the hackers rich and famous. I see little difference between an out sourcing company and an SSL supplier in this regard. Not doing the due diligence needed to be assured of a good supplier, or for an SSL supplier that the purchaser is who they claim to be, then things like this will happen. Companies to stop looking at cost first then consider what will happen. Reversing the equation is what needs to be done.
