No, your job is to be specific enough about what you are claiming that people can independently evaluate your claims.
You could have said "Comodo suffered a compromise in March that led to 9 fraudulently-issued certs." To say they "had huge issues very recently" could mean lots of different things, and it's not specific enough to Google for (even after searching there's no way to know whether the search results are what you were talking about or not).
Lets be clear here: My job is what I am paid to do. Anything else I do I do out of the goodness of my heart.
Now, if we want to talk about what people should do while participating in a conversation, I would argue that '"just fucking google it" before posting a content-less "Citation needed" post' is fairly high on the list. Just google newsing "comodo" would have been sufficient, or as I demonstrated, searching hacker news for the same string. Hell, just googling "comodo issue" will get you great results, if you can't make that google search from my comment text...
This isn't obscure stuff, this is recent serious news.
