EMudhra, an Indian certificate authority, has been compromised, potentially affecting millions of users worldwide. The company's intermediate certificate was compromised, allowing hackers to issue fake certificates. This could be used to intercept sensitive information and disrupt online services. The certificate was used to issue HTTPS certificates for various Indian government websites, including the Indian government's COVID-19 vaccination certificate website. EMudhra has acknowledged the issue and is working to replace the compromised certificate. The company has also notified the Indian government and relevant authorities.
