RSA, Comodo SSL: security issues for N900?
 
Just read this today:

"RSA, one of the leading global manufacturers of cryptographic solutions, has apparently fallen prey to an attack in which data was stolen from its servers.

and
"According to Tor developer Jacob Appelbaum and a blog posting by the Mozilla Foundation, the Comodo SSL Certification Authority may have been compromised. As a consequence, criminals apparently obtained nine certificates for web sites that already existed, including addons.mozilla.org.

Are these relevant for N900?

Patches for various software on other platofrms have been released, I don't know specifics about the certificates on N900 work, if it is embedded in the browser or if there's some common shared ones.

More info is here from Comodo: http://www.comodo.com/Comodo-Fraud-I...011-03-23.html
