Comodo, or one of its resellers, has been observed selling certificates without serious domain control checks or other verification. There should be some consideration for removing the impacted CA certificate from ca-certificates and other related packages in the near future, considering the possibility of other fake certificates.

I wish the site above had more details, but obviously a 'how to get your own cert like this' is just asking for trouble.
