Eight TLS certificates issued by India-based certificate authority eMudhra have been found with private keys so weak that attackers could potentially forge them and impersonate virtually any website, prompting a major internet security scare. The findings raise concerns over the certificate authority's key-generation practices and whether browsers and security firms will move to revoke or distrust the affected certificates.

Why now: News of critically weak cryptographic keys from a major certificate authority is circulating because of its potential to enable widespread website impersonation.
