14 DAY TRIAL // Opera Software released today version 12.16 of their web browser, which includes a newly issued code signing certificate as a result of the recent security breach in their internal network infrastructure.
The breach occurred on June 19 and the company came out with the details last week, informing that the attack did not appear to have compromised any user data.
Instead, the attackers managed to grab “at least one old and expired Opera code signing certificate,” which was used for signing malicious code.
Opera 12.16 (which may very well be among the last revisions running on Presto) is signed with a new certificate, as well as Opera Mobile Classic for Android 12.1.5.
Updating to the latest version is highly recommended as the issue affects the browser for all desktop platforms as well as some mobile ones.
The Norwegian developer did not mention any other changes for this build.
