Microsoft Security Advisory 2607712 – Fraudulent Digital Certificates Could Allow Spoofing: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/2607712.mspx

Microsoft is aware of active attacks using at least one fraudulent digital certificate issued by DigiNotar, a certification authority present in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities Store.
