A report claims Indian certificate authority eMudhra suffered a security incident that should have been reported to CERT-In within 6 hours by Oct 17, yet MeITy — quick to block Instagram and Twitter handles — has not responded. Critics say the fallout could break security trust chains across a wide swath of technology, with a long unpatched risk window ahead.
