Indian certificate authority left private key set to number 4
Original: This is so, so dumb. The key was the number 4. Just the number four. My bike lock is more secure... https://www. theregi
India's licensed certification authority eMudhra has had private keys compromised, and one of them was simply the number 4, according to The Register. Commenters are mocking the lapse, noting a bike lock offers better protection, and warning that poorly secured signing keys from a trusted certificate authority undermine the security guarantees the entire web relies on.
Why now: A certificate authority trusted to safeguard web security exposed keys with trivial protection, which is both alarming and darkly funny to security watchers.
