eMudhra Appoints KPMG for Independent Review After TLS Certificate Security Incident
eMudhra appointed KPMG to conduct an independent review following a cybersecurity incident involving weak private keys in eight of its TLS certificates. The flaw, caused by a script error during key generation, raised concerns about potential misuse and led major browsers like Chrome and Firefox to distrust affected certificates. In response, eMudhra decided to exit its global SSL TLS certificate business, which contributed around 1% of its revenue. Despite a sharp stock decline, analysts suggest the incident may have limited long-term impact on the company’s core business.
