Microsoft is making it easier for the Thai government to break web encryption
- mrmondo 10y agoFrom memory Microsoft was also the first major company to willingly onboard and work secretly with the NSA to deliver mass surveillance and interception of people's private information, data and metadata internationally without their knowledge or consent as part of the PRISM scandal.
- slurppurple 10y agoAnyone want to help me understand what the issue is with trusting the cert? Is it that the government is becoming a signing authority for Thailand and could secretly connect some users to the government's servers instead of the website they're trying to get to. How wrong am I?
- EvaPI 10y agoThat's right! The government could potentially misuse the certificate and because the root cert is trusted people would not know they are on an insecure or malicious website.
