I wouldn't necessarily count them dead just yet; although their legit customers must be very unhappy waking up one day to find their legitimate working SSL certs suddenly unusable.... So DigiNotar lost their "browser trusted" root CA status. That doesn't necessarily mean they will be unable to get other root CAs to cross-sign CA certificates they will make in the future, for the right price. A cross-sign with CA:TRUE is just as good as being installed in users' browser. -- -JH
