Intermediate certs allow anyone to mint web credentials for any Internet server.

Astonishingly, the private keys were 4, 56, 66, 115, 155, 156, 230, 237.

exploiting compromised certificates requires an active adversary-in-the-middle attack, meaning the attacker must act as a proxy between two TLS parties and receive encrypted traffic, decrypt it, reencrypt it, and send it to the other party. Such capabilities, in some cases, are usually limited to only the most well-resourced attackers. People with control of a local network—at a coffee shop, university, or other organization—face much less of a challenge.

    Tor is compromised? How do I check if my firefox or chrome has been compromised now?

    I thought tor was impossible to decrypt for an attacker, but they can see you are using it.
