Researcher kingslyj corrects the timeline: an Indian CA (eMudhra) didn't break its promise "last week" — the 8 compromised certs were generated in April 2024 and only detected last week. Adding irony, eMudhra published a "Comprehensive Guide" to Custom Public Key Infrastructure on July 11, 2025, two months after minting the bad certs.
