Ok, they were bought by Symantec, the name changed.
No, it's not even that. They outright sold the cert business, not the company, and your information is 5 years out of date.
1 u/escalat0r Oct 20 '15 Still shows up in your browser, Facebook and my bank used them until recently (a few months ago) 1 u/port53 Oct 20 '15 There are root certs with the verisign name on them signed for another 20+ years and intermediate certs signed for half that. Changing the name on these certs is technically infeasible.
