The SSL Certificate Issuer Field is a Lie- 1064

  • The Issuer on a Certificate is completely useless. Many of them are defunct companies or were bought out by another Certificate company. Since certs can last a long time or the purchasing company wants to keep the brand, it will remain the same.
  • Since this is annoying as hell, the author of this post wrote a tool to find the TRUE owner of a certificate: sslmate. Seems like a useful tool when you need to know more about your certificate issuer.
