Weak encryption certificates could have let hackers easily spoof websites

Major web browsers blocked TLS certificates issued by eMudhra to prevent their use in website spoofing attacks. The certificates contained weak encryption that could have allowed attackers to impersonate legitimate websites.

Why it matters: Website operators and users relying on eMudhra-issued certificates face immediate risk of impersonation; practitioners should verify their certificate inventory and replace affected TLS certificates with alternatives from trusted issuers.
