StartCom was a certificate authority founded in Eilat, Israel, and later based in Beijing, China, that had three main activities: StartCom Enterprise Linux (Linux distribution), StartSSL (certificate authority) and MediaHost (web hosting). StartCom set up branch offices in China, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and Spain. Due to multiple faults on the company's end, all StartCom certificates were removed from Mozilla Firefox in October 2016 and Google Chrome in March 2017, including certificates previously issued, with similar removals from other browsers expected to follow.
StartCom 是一家位于以色列埃拉特的证书颁发机构,主要服务包括StartCom Linux Enterprise(Linux发行版),StartSSL(证书颁发)和MediaHost(网站托管)。StartCom在中国、香港、英国和西班牙开设有新的分支机构。 2016年,Mozilla在讨论是否删除沃通和StartCom根证书的调查中发现,位于中国深圳的沃通(WoSign)已经由几个不同公司将StartCom秘密收购。在Mozilla和苹果的制裁影响下,位于北京的沃通母公司奇虎360集团决定在2016年内重组这些公司,重组后的StartCom将从丑闻缠身的沃通分离,完全成为奇虎360的下属公司。 2017年11月16日,StartCom宣布终止业务,自2018年1月1日起停止颁发新证书,并于2020年停止OCSP和CRL服务。
