Trustico is a dedicated SSL certificate provider, They are headquartered in the United Kingdom.
The company was founded in 2006 in United Kingdom by Zane Lucas. They gradually spread around the world over the following years. The firm currently operates entirely in the selling of SSL Certificates.[citation needed]
On 22 June 2017, Trustico entered a Partnership with Comodo, a developer of cyber security solutions[buzzword] and digital certificates.[2][3]
The company became notable in March 2018, after its CEO transferred the private keys for 23,000 HTTPS certificates via email (a non-secure protocol) to an executive at DigiCert.[4][5][6][1] The fact that these private keys had been stored by Trustico suggested that Trustico had been violating the baseline requirements for certificate authorities.[4]
This was followed by the disclosure of a critical security flaw – a publicly accessible root shell – in the Trustico website, after which the website was taken offline.[7][8] The result was that thousands of Trustico customers had their security certificates revoked by DigiCert.[1]
