They said natural variations in ocean currents that limit ice melting had probably balanced out the continuing rise in global temperatures. However, they sa

Гром зимой: отзовет ли GlobalSign TLS-сертификаты у «до 20.000 российских сайтов»?

Поговаривают, что 13 июня GlobalSign вслед за Let’s Encrypt начал без объявления войны отзыв TLS-сертификатов у российских сайтов. Что характерно, хотя вой поднялся до небес и версии выдвигаются самые разнообразные, вплоть до очередного жидомасонскогобандеровского заговора, названия конкретных пострадавших сайтов никто не приводит, их количеством никто не пугает. Сообщается лишь, что отзыв может затронуть «до 20.000 российских сайтов». Может затронуть, а может и 0 – это тоже «до 20.000».Минцифры тут же... Read more
