For shame: Thawte trusts Gromozon

Gromozon (here as �Newtech, Inc. Panama�), one of the most notorious pieces of spyware out there, is digitally signed by Thawte (part of Verisign). This isn't the first time spyware has been signed by a certificate authority.

VirusTotal results for this �signed� piece of garbage here.

Update: Verison has notified me that the cert is being revoked.
