Experts warn devices will be affected after major HTTPS certificate provider Let's Encrypt saw its root certificate expire this week.
Internet shutdown Today: This isn’t the first time that an incident like this is happening. Last year on May 30, the AddTrust External CA Root expired and that resulted in a bunch of organisations and people suffer. Similar can be the case this time as well.
The previous year on 30th May a bunch of high turnover organisations like Zomato, Disney+ Hotstar, Paytm, Myntra and Amazon had to face huge losses because of the Internet shutdown. This happened due to the expiration of the AddTrust External CA Root. A similar thing is going to happen today as the Let’s Encrypt IdentTrust DST Root CA X3 certificate will expire today and this can result in the internet shut down for many users across the globe. We can call it an Internet Blackout where many users will not be provided with the internet services and this could result in huge losses once again.
