.... Seriously?
If someone got a hold of your certificate that is the security equivalent of the entire company being on fire. If they got my certs they likely will have my credit cards, my birth certificate, and my youngest daughter.
Thank God though that I can renew my certificates every 6 days, that will definitely help sole the problem.
that's... not how SSL works.
I think the implication is the infiltrator would have a lot of access already.
Yeah but it's just an extra layer. Why not, it's automated and almost no-cost.
Thats an interesting position.
I dont keep my credit card information on the load balancer that holds my certs.
OK. Whatever hypothetical we want to think about here, we still want our cert to be renewed.
