The famous example of this was Mountain America Credit

Just for the record, it was Geotrust and not Verisign, so it could have
happened to any other CA, since as you reported, the site was
legitimate. However the certificate was domain validated and
Persona/Identity was not validated, which wouldn't have
succeeded...(most likely).<br>
