"DigiNotar issues certificates as part of the Dutch government’s PKIoverheid 
(PKIgovernment) program. These certificates are issued from a different 
DigiNotar-controlled intermediate, and chain up to the Dutch government CA 
(Staat der Nederlanden). The Dutch government’s Computer Emergency Response 
Team (GovCERT) indicated that these certificates are issued independently of 
DigiNotar’s other processes and that, in their assessment, these had not been 
compromised. The Dutch government therefore requested that we exempt these 
certificates from the removal of trust, which we agreed to do in our initial 
security update early this week.

The Dutch government has since audited DigiNotar’s performance and
rescinded this assessment. We are now removing the exemption for these
certificates, meaning that all DigiNotar certificates will be untrusted
by Mozilla products."
