Chrome 70 Canary drops support for old Symantec security certificates
Google has released the first nightly build of Chrome 70 for developers, which drops support for all certificates issued by Symantec’s old certificate authority infrastructure before 1 December 2017.
The issue with Symantec’s certificate authority dates back to March 2017, when Google and Mozilla engineers discovered that Symantec misissued 127 SSL certificates. As an investigation continued, the estimate grew to 30,000 certificates.
