If you have a Lenovo you're screwed. You always have been.
The password used to issue the certificates is "komodia". If you have a Lenovo, this means that an attacker can decrytp, intercept and impersonate any other website - including 'Microsoft' and install programs on your computer. In other words, get off the intenret and install Linux!
When Lenovo took over the PC/Laptop business from IBM . . .
IBM is still a major shareholder in Lenovo, but yea getting rid of all the good people who had been making IBM hardware for decades was the point where they started swirling around the bowl.
With all the spyware that can now reside on the HDD itself, I don't know if there really is any 'good hardware' out there.

I still have an IBM T-42 running Windows XP. I use it for sniffing networks and it does a fine job. Even ten years later it remains my favorite laptop. They made great stuff!
Ditto! I have one with the fingerprint scanner. Love it!

"The bad news is that Lenovo ever put Superfish on their consumer laptops. The good news is that it's not that hard to get rid of it."

The irony of making fun of childish actions followed by a childish insult.
