Problem with not having retired, yet!

Subscribed to several hacking and bug sites, Comodo has been hacked before, and it struck a bell for most recommended here.

Had to link it to group, just in case.

The irony!

These are user data from their own forum, right? So if if one never used their forum, it should be okay?

Although, now one has to wonder if they still fulfill the web of trust principle. I have a few domains with the free Let's Encrypt certificates. Yeah, I know, I'm cheap, and it came back to possibly bite me. I'll have to check what DreamHost's word on this will be.

Thanks for sharing the article, @Frozenoem
