Attackers Hijack .gh, .sl, and .as Registries to Obtain Certificates for Google Domains
Attackers hijacked .gh, .sl, and .as registries and obtained 12 unauthorized certificates for Google and YouTube domains.
Summary
Attackers compromised three country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) and obtained unauthorized HTTPS certificates for several Google domains, Google said on October 6. Google's own systems were not breached, but any domain ending in .gh (Ghana), .sl (Sierra Leone) or .as (American Samoa) was put at risk.
