Blogger uses Claude Opus to probe Sectigo cert switch, suspects LLM-written announcement
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-22
A blogger asked Claude Opus to fact-check the InCommon/Internet2 migration to Sectigo, and Opus pushed back: no evidence of foul play — the switch looks abrupt, but the overwhelming majority of respondents reported satisfaction with Sectigo, and the public decision came from the InCommon Steering Committee chaired by a UMass Amherst CIO. The author remains suspicious, noting the announcement reads like LLM-generated LinkedIn marketing slop, and that fees stayed flat while the offering shrank.
