    A security certificate authority from India had several of their keys deciphered because the numbers used to generate them were way too short. In fact one of them was simply the number 4. Because of this basically the entire internet has been put at risk because it’s trivially easy to forge keys from this trusted authority.

    Its the same joke everyone else is making.

    If you open the original post URL, there is an image with a post-it note reading "My password 4". Some servers don't show the post images sometimes, I had to open the original URL to see the picture.
