Major security flaw triggers action from Google and Apple against eMudhra certificates

eMudhra, an Indian certificate authority (CA) that issues digital certificates, is reportedly under fire for dangerously weak security keys in eight of its certificates. This can potentially allow attackers to create a fake digital certificate for almost any website and intercept or manipulate data exchanged between users and those websites.Google, Apple, Microsoft and Mozilla have now blocked the affected certificates to prevent their products from trusting certificates associated with the compromised keys. Reportedly, Cloudflare identified the issue at around 10:30 pm IST on October 19, but it found no evidence that the compromised certificates had been exploited on its own services. What is your take on security flows associated with Technoogy companies ?
