Since I haven't seen this mentioned enough yet:

The private key for all 8 "compromised" CAs is a single byte: https://mastodon.catgirl.cloud/@49016/117474217042191790

One of the private keys is literally "4".

I'm putting "compromised" in quotes here, because I can't call it that without cringing and cursing.
