The tool was made available for customers to legitimately check if the Private Key matched the SSL Certificate that was being installed - a common question and feature request from our customers.
However, upon review of the comments made in the internet community we have made a decision to remove this specific tool and to review all other tools that we make publicly available via our websites.
We also saw a heavy attempt to hack/abuse this tool over the past few hours, perhaps to look for exploits, an action I find absurd for those who make out to be security conscious.
I welcome any further comments on how we can improve our service and do hope that our actions to remove the tool today were prompt and satisfactory.
