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.

Lol. I'm kinda sad I missed out on that expressive time of making websites when I was growing up. You're right, now everything is very homogenized and there's a billion botswarms just waiting for you to be 3 seconds late to a security update so they can zombify your site for...

(Flips papers) Crypto somehow... it's always crypto.

Internet crime isn't even cool anymore. Lol
