an attacker to perform a 'machine-in-the-middle' (MITM) attack which would make
the user believe their connection is secure, but is actually being
monitored.

For the protection of its users, Mozilla has removed the DigiNotar
certificate. Sites using certificates issued by DigiNotar will need to seek
another certificate vendor.

We are currently aware of a regression that blocks one of two Staat der
Nederlanden root certificates which are believed to still be secure. This
regression is being tracked at [link moved to references].");
