David,
I can't refresh your memory directly, but I suspect this was a long time ago.
According to the CCADB, the SecureTrust roots are owned by TrustWave
and are currently ultimately controlled by the Singapore Minister for
Finance.
>From what I can find online, SecureTrust was acquired by
AmbironTrustWave in 2007.[1] AmbironTrustWave later became
TrustWave.[2] In 2015, SingTel acquired TrustWave.[3] . The SingTel
annual report states that Temasek Holdings has an interest of
approximately 52% in Singtel and that the Singapore Minister for
Finance is the owner of Temasek.[4]
Assuming it was SecureTrust that had issues, that would have been at
least 10 years ago.
Thanks,
Peter
