#LetsEncrypt has suspended issuing certificates after it identified security issues in one of its roots (!)[^1]

We temporarily disabled certificate issuance, deployed a configuration change to prevent future issuance from the cross-signed Gen Y hierarchy, and then re-enabled issuance. Certificate revocation and CRL generation remains functional for Gen Y certificates.

A few days ago #DigiCert was hacked with a Windows (!) screensaver (!)[^2]

I cannot but remind that both organisations are part of the #WebTrust cartel who had last year unrolled a massive “grassroots” smear campaign against EU #QWAC certificates, presenting them as “security and privacy threat”, whereas from both legal and technical point of view QWAC is much more secure:

👮🏼‍♀️When you bake a gatekeeper right into your browser…but instead of placing that power in a transparent, representative organization (🌍 UN, W3C, etc.),
you think: “Let’s just leave that to Google Search.” 🙃

👉 Result: open-source projects like Immich get flagged as “dangerous.”
