    They will never comprehend the amount of work they have created for everyone else.

      The scale is pretty mind boggling indeed. I don’t know when they were added to trust stores, but imagine all the shitty IoT devices that will never see the revocation…

    Doubling down, ey? Bold, or fucking dumber than a drum.

    Passed audits? That’s even more alarming.

      Eh most audits are a checklist and if they checked everything they passed it…

        A checklist that does not test if a private key is the number 4. The Horror.

    Too difficult? Yeah when you think a private key of ‘4’ is already enough… you SHOULD get out of that business.
