    The certificates were determined by fair die roll

    I can’t believe the private key was 4.

      I wonder if they didn’t read this section:

      There are no entries in the certificate transparency logs for these intermediates in that period, indicating that CT-enforcing clients like Firefox, Chrome, Edge and Safari could not have been attacked.

      or if they did read it, but don’t trust it.

      Jfc it’s patched in just about all of them now.

      Unless for some reason they’ve overridden that capability while being unable to issue patches in a timely manner due to process overhead, but nobody would be that stupid right?

    Currently having a very fun day at work.

    Fortunately our own certificates are unaffected, but it’s the autumn break and most of the staff are absent and incommunicado.

    This is great news to get mitmproxy (which has been updated with a specific --emudra flag) to intercept your iot widgets that you couldn’t install a custom ca on.
