Google will block DarkMatter certificates in Chrome and Android

Devon O'Brien of the Chrome Security Team объявил about Google's intention to block DarkMatter intermediate certificates in the Chrome browser and Android platform. It is also planned to reject the request to include the DarkMatter root certificate in the Google certificate store. Recall that a similar solution was previously received Mozilla company. Google agreed with the arguments expressed by representatives of Mozilla and considered the existing claims against DarkMatter sufficient.

Recall that the main arguments against DarkMatter come down to investigative journalism (Reuters, EFF, The New York Times), reporting the involvement of DarkMatter in the operation "Project Raven", conducted by the special services of the United Arab Emirates to compromise the accounts of journalists, human rights activists and foreign representatives. DarkMatter states that the information is not true and has already sent appeal, which representatives of Mozilla accepted for consideration.
