Oh, and don't forget to update your certificate stores too because some dumbass certificate authority in India decided to choose private keys that were between 2 and 8 bits long

The private key sizes of the compromised keys ranged from 3 to 8 bits. Astonishingly, the private keys were 4, 56, 66, 115, 155, 156, 230, 237.
