Purchasing an SSL certificate alone is usually not enough – you also need to pay attention to various important details that ensure a proper installation. The verification of the SSL certificate’s correct implementation is typically carried out during the transition to the HTTPS protocol.

The “Phishing and Fraud” report, prepared by Webroot and F5 Lab, indicates that the autumn-winter period is particularly favored by cybercriminals. During this time, the number of crimes committed increases by as much as half. A particularly noticeable rise in attacks can be observed in December and January.
Domain Ownership Verification (Domain Control Validation, DCV) is a crucial step in the process of issuing SSL/TLS certificates, regardless of their validation level (DV, OV, or EV). For years, many DCV methods have relied on the WHOIS system, which provided contact information for domain owners. However, due to increasing security threats and evolving industry standards, […]
