London: Statistical data gathered by Venafi, the leading provider of enterprise key and certificate management (EKCM) solutions, indicates that nearly all Global 2000 organisations have deployed weak, easily-hacked MD5-signed certificates in their environments. MD5 is the broken certificate-signing algorithm used by Microsoft, which allowed hackers to bypass Microsoft security and infect thousands of computers with Flame malware. Once infected, Flame was able to gather sensitive information from the targeted devices.
