The Dutch government has "taken over operational management" of DigiNotar, the certificate authority (CA) which was breached in July putting hundreds of bogus SSL certificates into circulation.
According to a factsheet from the Dutch government, they are denouncing trust in certificates issued by DigiNotar. It points out that, although there are no Dutch government certificates among the known fraudulent certificates, web site visitors may get warning messages that sites can no longer be trusted and server-to-server communications which use the CA's certificates may be disrupted.
