This time around it's HP:
http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/10/hp-accidentally-signed-malware-will-revoke-certificate/

With a twist: the CA itself was not compromised. One of the computers 
trusted with code signing had become infected with a bit of malware that 
got itself signed with a HP key and then shipped itself back to the 
distributor. It's been in the wild in its signed formed for the past 
four years.
