Real problem is capitalism, state are so closed that they have no place for dissent. It's very easy to call cert in empanelled jokers, very hard to be lead a normal life being a rational person against state, market functioning which are large scale excesses on people.
An independent audit would be nice too. Not from the CERT-In empanelled jokers or the big 10 who are showered with government contracts. Truly independent auditors.

An explainer on what breaking of eMudhra's private keys means and how it effects banks and banking sector. Obviously you won't care unless money is involved, so here is money.
Your browser's padlock is a promise: "this is really your bank." Last week an Indian company broke that promise 8 times. One of the secret keys was the number 4. A thread for anyone who has never once thought about how HTTPS works. 🧵

Embarrassingly, this is one more in a string of catastrophic errors linked to private equity ownership When they buy into hospitals, people die When they buy certificate authorities, the internet breaks When they buy password managers like Bitwarden… 🍿 Wat do? Especially in the age of the AI apocalypse, if l investments can cost lives or grossly compromise security, firms should be mandated to have multi-year escrows that get clawed back from execs and the firm if anything catastrophic happened that can be proven to be negligent (not just grossly negligent)

So State Bank of India data breach has also been confirmed now. India's two largest government banks have had data leaked on the dark web in the last four months. First Bank of Baroda, now SBI.
SBI discloses they had a cyber security incident to SEBI.

It's National Cyber Security Awarness Month and the bare minimum we need from CERT-IN is to tell us how https works. When will CERT wake up?
CERT-In is observing October 2026 as National Cyber Security Awareness Month with the theme “Build a culture of cyber hygiene". @GoI_MeitY @_DigitalIndia @InfoSecAwa @SSOIndia @mygovindia @cdacindia #IndianCERT #CyberSwachhtaKendra #NCSAM2026 #cyberhygieneourculture

WE WILL DO IT! #DigitalIndia edition.
Fallout of e-Mudhra cert compromise, all indian govt websites using them won't be accessible on major browsers except for Desi browsers. Remember MeiTY browser challenge where Zoho won some award? Building shitty tech & calling it sovereignty is what we do. Desi Tech Zindabad
