Kim Zetter at Wired is reporting that the fundamental integrity of the internet is once again in question. A hacker last week obtained legitimate web certificates that would have allowed him to impersonate some of the top sites on the internet, including the login pages used by Google, Microsoft and Yahoo e-mail customers.

The attacker created a ninth certificate for a domain of his own under the name “Global Trustee”.
