Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days (letsencrypt.org)

Let’s Encrypt will be reducing the validity period of the certificates we issue. We currently issue certificates valid for 90 days, which will be cut in half to 45 days by 2028.
This change is being made along with the rest of the industry, as required by the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements, which set the technical requirements that we must follow. All publicly-trusted Certificate Authorities like Let’s Encrypt will be making similar changes. Reducing how long certificates are valid for helps improve the security of the internet, by limiting the scope of compromise, and making certificate revocation technologies more efficient.

Partition the internet... Like during the Morris worm of '88, where they had to pull off regional networks to prevent the machines from being reinfected?

The good old days were, maybe, not that good. :)

Well that could be considered the point where we lost our innocence, yeah. :(

Imagine trying to do this (excluding China, Russia and some middle eastern or african countries) in the western world.
I would assume total anarchy (especially in the stock trade lol)
