If today you’re free today around 3:10pm, your boy has a lightning talk @ level 2, Room 204A/B. I’m talking about source code’s opaque link with released binaries.

First time going to @EFDevcon straight from my home. No hotel. No flights.

And the rain last night was a cherry on top, it made the AQI & the visibility so nice, I’m enjoying this drive towards BKC.

For SSL to work, it needs n-of-n security among the certifying authorities. Just one needs to default. I used to think its never going to happen right

🚨 MAJOR SECURITY ALERT

8 certificate authority private keys have been compromised.

How bad is it? An attacker holding these keys could impersonate ANY website, including banks, exchanges, or Google, and potentially intercept sensitive communications.

The good news: Chrome, Firefox and Apple have already taken action to block the compromised certificates.

The bad news: Many apps, developer tools and systems may still trust them.

What you should do TODAY:

Update your browser, OS and phone.
Update desktop apps (Slack, Discord, VS Code, etc.) as patches arrive.
Avoid untrusted Wi-Fi until your devices are updated.
Only install updates from official sources.
Ignore any email offering a "certificate fix".

This is a serious compromise of internet trust infrastructure, not just another website hack.
