IT Ministry takes ‘serious note’ of eMudhra incident, forms special team

The ministry said the reported security incident pertains to eMudhra’s global certificate business, and its impact on Indian websites is very limited. It also said some social media accounts were indulging in fear-mongering about the impact.

The incident involves eight eMudhra intermediate certificates whose private keys were reported compromised, which major browsers have since blocked. CERT-In noted that public disclosures do not establish confirmed malicious exploitation of the affected keys.
