eMudhra CA compromise

Certificate Authorities are a problem... eMudhra Intermediate CA Compromise:

The root programs and many downstream trust stores have taken action to protect their users. The certificates have been blocked in Firefox and Chrome since the 17th of October, in Apple devices since the 19th and in Microsoft since the 20th.

But a web trust problem. We should be passing around our trust in a way that doesn't centralize our points of failure.

eMudhra Intermediate Certificates Compromised.

Letter from Dennis Jackson to the Mozilla community.

Your favorite software distribution may be compromised.

The Internet goes on high alert after discovery of 8 compromised TLS certs.
