Comodo Rebrand to Sectigo

[RS Tyler Schroder]

Based on a recent visit to crt.sh , Comodo has rebranded to Sectigo <https://sectigo.com/>

(Talked with Wayne off-list to confirm there's no announcement required under BR Sec. 8, so just posting it for general awareness / discussion)

Hi Tyler. Thanks for posting this. However, I think your
(unfortunately inaccurate) statement - "Comodo has rebranded to Sectigo"
- demonstrates perfectly the confusion between two distinct
organizations that necessitated this rebrand!

Comodo (https://www.comodo.com/) has not rebranded. Comodo, which
continues to offer various cybersecurity products and services, ceased
being a CA when it sold a majority share in its "Comodo CA" business
unit to Francisco Partners just over a year ago.

Sectigo (https://sectigo.com/) is the new name for "Comodo CA".

Thanks for the clarification! That makes much more sense.
