Does anyone have the inside scoop on the security problems at PGP?

The problems encountered had to do with bogus keys of PGP employees being uploaded to the server. This has been rectified by the creation of a new PGP Corporate Key with which all employee keys must now be signed in order to be considered valid. The new PGP Corporate key, dated July 30, 1997, is now available on the PGP, Inc. keyserver.
