Astonishingly, the private keys were 4, 56, 66, 115, 155, 156, 230, 237.

exploiting compromised certificates requires an active adversary-in-the-middle attack, meaning the attacker must act as a proxy between two TLS parties and receive encrypted traffic, decrypt it, reencrypt it, and send it to the other party. Such capabilities, in some cases, are usually limited to only the most well-resourced attackers. People with control of a local network—at a coffee shop, university, or other organization—face much less of a challenge.

My Firefox mobile got green ✅

Maybe try manually updating through the app store

Mine showed red, but after updating it now shows all green

What's odd is that I have auto updates disabled for Firefox on my spare phone, and I still show green on everything. I don't think it's updated in a couple months now.

Firefox can push certificate revocation updates without having to push a new browser build

I think cert updates happen automatically on their own without the browser needing to be updated.

There are no entries in the certificate transparency logs for these intermediates in that period, indicating that CT-enforcing clients like Firefox, Chrome, Edge and Safari could not have been attacked.
