By forging security certificates, the hackers were also able to steal information from Google, Yahoo, Facebook and Twitter.
Hackers thought to be of Iranian origin managed to steal security certificates from the websites of the Mossad, the CIA, and the Israeli internet portal Walla, according to a report by a security official for Mozilla, publishers of the popular web browser Firefox, whose website was also breached.
The Mozilla report also claimed that security certificates were stolen from British intelligence agency MI-6, Twitter, Yahoo, Facebook and others, as well. There are reports of 531 stolen certificates in total thus far, including a break-in to Google's servers, which occurred in July and were reported in late August.
