There are people from these CAs who were denied in the past explicitly for concerns about spying who now work at eMudhra[3,4].

Again, I have no proof. There may never be any proof. But I think it's time we think about who might have found out about this weak key when it was first issued a year and a half ago and trusted by the whole world and what they would have done with that information.I have no evidence or proof, but I am convinced this wrap/unwrap key generation debacle was intentional and the weak keys were discovered and kept secret by the agencies or governments and used to exploit their adversaries.
You don't need to perform a traditional MITM attack _if you own the airport_ or you _own the free public wifi_. The traffic can be harvested in clear text and we have to come to terms with the _remote possibility_ that this was going on for over a year and a half. If not that long, then certainly for the past 10 days.
While I sympathize with your loss, this was always going to prevent you from holding down a job, even as a pre-LLM "coder." The majority of us have to work on systems, not just single files or cleanly isolated programs we can hold in our head.
