Unfortunately there isn't a definitive source, only a bit of noise in the blogs for a few days. AFAIK it was difficult to pinpoint exactly which version of which program was the culprit, since people aren't free to install an arbitrary version of a government-mandated security program. Most website owners just got tired of the bullshit and bought a cheap Sectigo cert instead.
But the symptoms were very clear. Some program, at some point before ISRG Root X1 became included in Windows, had set the registry key \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\AuthRoot\DisableRootAutoUpdate to 1, when it should have been 0 by default.
I remember having seen a name being mentioned, but can't find the name now. The program was probably from a healthcare and/or welfare related website, since most of the complaints that came across my desk were from physicians, pharmacists, and welfare workers. No complaints at all from casual shoppers and bank users.
