Didn't Let's Encrypt have to jump through all sorts of hoops to prove they were competent and trustworthy before that happened?

Now it's coming out these guys used "4" as a private key. That's a crazy amount of incompetence and malfeasance. Did they vibe-code a CA? HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? I am dumbfounded.

You couldn't even do this if you installed Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 today, unpatched, with the CA on default settings.
