Indeed, trendmicro doesnt say anything about that. Let's Encrypt says "The concern most commonly expressed is that having valid HTTPS certificates helps these sites look more legitimate, making people more likely to trust them."
I agree with Let's Encrypt position, they are not to blame here.

- pluma 11y agoExactly. This false notion of security was perpetuated by CAs for marketing purposes. It's their fault if users now mistakenly think HTTPS == trustworthy. They basically sold certs as something they're not and now complain that people may realize they don't actually serve that purpose now that they're made widely available without the false pretences.
