You misunderstand me. I know that WoSign is crap. I would not ever trust WoSign again.
My point is that Startcom seemed decent until they were acquired by WoSign and started adopting their shady practices. If they are completely disentangled from WoSign, I might be willing to trust them again.
- mynameisvlad 9y agoTo be fair to the parent comment, your original comment as it is written says the exact opposite; that you'd be willing to trust them due to the acquisition.
- mi100hael 9y agoMade sense to me if you know that WoSign is crap and read the article indicating they are no longer under WoSign control.
- Karunamon 9y agoStartcom was crap long before then. Rather infamously, they made people cough up $25 per cert to revoke heartbleed-compromised ones (when a simple freaking re-key fixes the problem and was supported by most reputable CAs)
- phonon 9y agoStartcom is just a name now, unfortunately. Neither the infrastructure nor employees were retained. Eddy Nigg is no longer involved, and all the Israeli employees were laid off when WoSign bought them.
