Bit9 hacked after it forgot to install its own security product

“IT security biz Bit9′s private digital certificates were copied by hackers and used to cryptographically sign malware to infect the company’s customers.

The software-whitelisting firm’s certificates were swiped when its core systems were hacked last week. The intruders then signed malicious code and distributed it to the company’s corporate clients.”
