The past year at ISRG has been a great one and I couldn’t be more proud of our staff, community, funders, and other partners that made it happen. Let’s Encrypt continues to thrive, serving more websites around the world than ever before with excellent security and stability. Our understanding of what it will take to make more privacy-preserving metrics more mainstream via our Divvi Up project is evolving in important ways.
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.
… Seriously?

Yeah but it’s just an extra layer. Why not, it’s automated and almost no-cost.
that’s… not how SSL works.
I think the implication is the infiltrator would have a lot of access already.
OK. Whatever hypothetical we want to think about here, we still want our cert to be renewed.
