[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 977382, member: 7463"] Although the certificate for Hermetica Digital Ltd was issued in April 2021, I think early January is more probable as the timestamp of the prevalent malware was from late December. It's important to note that the poor guy from Cyprus that owns the company (not a software person in any way- he just writes text for games!) had no idea that a certificate was issued for him at all. In all probability this was a simple impersonation routine between the Blackhats and the company that provided the digital certificate- the Blackhats being the criminals, DigiCert being apathetic, and the victim being oblivious to all.
