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.

    There is no reasonable way to be an ethical hacker when the companies you are hacking are not ethical themselves.

    If they refuse to pay bounty programs, and refuse to fix the security vulnerabilities, there’s just no way to do security research.

    If you don’t wanna get hit by security issues, get as far away as possible from these companies.
