I'm unsure, but I have to ask: isn't this company Russian-controlled (with Luxembourg and Cyprus shell-company fronts)? Their Wikipedia entry[0] features a controversy involving RT (Russia Today); and a number of their top employees (i.e. Vsevolod Vayner) seem to live in Russian cities; and Moscow was their 2nd cloud location, after Luxembourg[1].
I'm not sure if I've got this right (most of the primary sources are Russian websites that block me and also block Western internet archives; I'm gleaning some things from Google preview caches). But: is it possible the #1 "European sovereign CDN" has been acting as a white-label reseller for Moscow? Is it possible they willingly trusted all of their customers' TLS certificates to a contractor operating from Russia?

Someone kindly fact-check me.
