80 percent of digital certificates vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks

A new survey finds that nearly 80 percent of TLS certificates on the internet are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MiM) attacks, while as many as 25 percent of all certificates are expired at any given time.

The study, sponsored by automated machine identity management firm AppViewX and carried out by EEnterprise Management Associates (EMA), focuses on servers with SSL/TLS certificates on port 443.
