‼️ BREAKING: The private keys of 8 certificates from Indian certificate authority eMudhra were compromised, Mozilla says. Firefox blocked them within 3 hours. Each key should be a 116-digit number, but one was just 4. Anyone can guess them and forge HTTPS certs for any website.

❗️ Crypto mixer Railgun ignored a US lawsuit claiming it laundered North Korea's stolen crypto, and is now in default. The plaintiffs are victims and families holding $865M in US terrorism judgments against North Korea. Courts found it abducted a US permanent resident pastor in China in 2000 and tortured him to death, and backed Hezbollah's 2006 rocket attacks on Israel. They say Railgun should have frozen North Korea's funds so they could seize them. The FBI says North Korean hackers laundered $60M+ through Railgun in January 2023. The suit claims ~70% of the money it handled was North Korea's.
