    FYI, G3 is the only one listed with the issue, the others are fine AFAIK. But if you don’t trust eMudhra at all after that, then that’s fair.

    Edit: Actually it’s the intermediate certs that are compromised, the roots are still fine, but many of them come from the G3 root cert (and Sectigo’s AAA Certificate Services)

      Excerpt from that page, for Android:

      • eMudhra Technologies Limited: emSign ECC Root CA - G3
      • Comodo CA Limited: AAA Certificate Services

      Of course, people using an Android variant that still gets regular updates are unlikely to need manual disables, since an update will take care of it.

        Yeah, my understanding was they’re not issuing new certificates, but the current ones are still valid until they’ve expired.

          Recently learned that root CA don’t actually expire. Yes, they have an expiration date, but nothing pays attention to it for a CA.

            Well you can’t sign new certs (with the current date) with an expired root/intermediate cert, but the root/intermediate cert expiring doesn’t strictly invalidate the already signed certs.

            But I was more talking about the end-user certificates in the previous comment.
