Unfortunately the venture has had to close down, but they have all their issues for free online so you can still see what they did.

Researchers (whoever /they/ are) are now estimating around 14% of all certificates to be false.
Considering the emphasis on SSL as being secure, this is somewhat of a crisis of confidence in internet security.
