Reflection on Article

Well according to what I understood, this article is about how there  is this hacker name Comohacker who says that he can issue Window updates. So he or she is threatening that he can make false certificate. But Microsoft denies this, Microsoft that they are protected from this. One hack that he did was to DigiNotar. And according to the writer of this article the reson Comohacker did this to DigiNotar was because the of the 2002 Srebrenica genocide. Another though this hack he or she says that s/he was able to make false SSL certificate for network campanies such Google, Twitter etc.
This can be a negative aspect of networks because there is possibility that someone can hack you. Furthermore one way it can be view as Ms. Stettler told me is that there is risks. And although someone is not hacked they can still have their information by hand. In addition to this article it can be question if there is any possibility that the hacker might be caught or if they can they can located where these threats are coming from. Is he able to dodge that too? It seem  pretty tremendous that people provide this false SSL to recognized companies such as Google, Twitter, if this is true. How can they do this? Who knows?
