1. A malicious / phishing copy of the messages to install a cert from the Kazakh gov
2. Compromise of the private key given many ISPs have a copyhttps://t.co/joDvfqZkCS

After concluding spying on individual dissident's computers was too hard, Kazakhstan has decided to break https to spy on the entire internet instead: https://t.co/n06yMrJSqq

Some advice from our Chief Architect @stevenmccown If you ever have a pop-up ask to install a new root cert:
— Anonyome Labs (@AnonyomeLabs) July 19, 2019
1. Click “No”
2. Leave the site you received the pop-up on
3. Clear your cachehttps://t.co/BxOnARkBLj

There is something terribly upsetting with this. Inserting certificates will break all trusted communication. That includes banking & trading (economic harm).

カザフスタン政府がすべてのHTTPSを中継してトラフィックを監視。プライバシーを重視して通信を暗号化すると、攻撃者も動きやすくなるわけで、これは確かに有効ではあるけど、このあたりのバランスって難しい。実際IDS/IPSって50%程度しか監視できてないよね?https://t.co/KAHew7CB9d pic.twitter.com/nviDh8UIeo
