This passage, perhaps?

"With StartCom even the first step, the creation of the key, is not performed in the most reputable manner: The "Certificate Creation Wizard" creates the private key on the server of the Israeli company and subsequently transmits it to the web site operator via an SSL-secured web page. There is no guarantee given that StartCom might not keep a copy of the secret key. Such a copy would make it possible to decrypt all the server's encrypted traffic. In the case of respectable companies offering this kind of service users create their secret keys locally; the CA is only sent the certificate application, a signed copy of which it then sends back.
