Dutch SSL certificate authority (CA) Diginotar issued a fraudulent certificate for *google.com in August 2011. This means that hackers can, and have been, impersonating Gmail with a "man in the middle" attack. The certificate is believed to have been issued by Iranian agents after they hack Diginotar. The exploit may have been used to spy on Iranian citizens' e-mail.
