@captn3m0 @nixxin @dilipasbe What is the liability split for its negligence as against the apps?

[Srikanth.CashlessConsumer | ஸ்‌ரீகாந்த் @logic]

Minimum government. 0 governance

[Srinivas Kodali @digitaldutta]

Ideally the Government, specifically CERT-IN or Controller of Certifying Authorities under MeITY should be telling you this impact of eMudhra. But hey nothing is wrong to begin with. Govt has no work at all 🍿

Meanwhile - #eMudhra has its banking roots and funnily enough its own origin story is contested as fraud by its bank-it vendor parent company.

New credit card just came in from eMudhra Bank, finally I don't have to memorize 16 random digits to buy things online!

[Jeffrey Emanuel @doodlestein]

Everyone who owns hardware with abominable software (like Sonos players) owes a debt of gratitude to Venkatraman Srinivasan and the rest of the eMudhra gang in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Without their gross negligence, it'd be a lot harder to counterfeit certificates and fix the sw🙏

[Nemo @captn3m0]

156 Indian government websites are currently inaccessible because of a cert revocation by @eMudhra, including 4 that come under @GoI_MeitY. One of them is @ccaindiapki - which regulates eMudhra.

@ManishEarth Thank you, yes it was clickbaity (esp in making the Google comparison) and yes I should resist it. That is my human slop in intent, trading for attention

https://t.co/F0euEH1spb - AI helped me learn more on domain trust. Slop or not, society doesn't care about security / trust

[Srikanth.CashlessConsumer | ஸ்‌ரீகாந்த் @logic]

So - #UPI broke the rules of the game so badly - that @GoogleIndia engineers too don't care about expired certificates. - Because certificate shipping is only ceremonial - never verified.

Shame on @Google and @NPCI_NPCI https://t.co/UsWI3CY5Se

[Nemo @captn3m0]

Since the entire internet cares about critical certificates today, a reminder @UPI_NPCI has been running on an expired cert since Sep 2025.

Issued by IDRBT, which is now managing all of *.bank.in.

[Srikanth.CashlessConsumer | ஸ்‌ரீகாந்த் @logic]

@ManishEarth Just for the record. Engagement comes free with threats. I understand scale of eMudra and UPI frauds are different by orders of magnitude, but let's just say UPI has already suffered multi fold monetary loss for people.

Not defending unquantifiable loss of eMudra here.

[Srikanth.CashlessConsumer | ஸ்‌ரீகாந்த் @logic]

@ManishEarth And the knowledge of attacks in UPI are incomplete and let me tell you we are dealing with scale of fraud that has been perpetually under reported brushing it under "social engineering" and victim blaming.

[Srikanth.CashlessConsumer | ஸ்‌ரீகாந்த் @logic]

@lalit_dhalia You do read accounts getting drained right? It needs some access, but there are more layers here.

[Srikanth.CashlessConsumer | ஸ்‌ரீகாந்த் @logic]

@captn3m0 The RBI eRupee is still a pilot. While there were couple of parliamentary announcements - CBDC is still unlegislated. It will outlive Aadhaar being an unlawful tender so that RBI can oneupman UIDAI on being rogue. RBI always wants to be winner.

[Srikanth.CashlessConsumer | ஸ்‌ரீகாந்த் @logic]

@captn3m0 @GoogleIndia @Google @NPCI_NPCI Since we make Digital Public Infrastructure to circumvent transparency, we will give this a pass :)

[Nemo @captn3m0]

@logic @GoogleIndia @Google @NPCI_NPCI Other countries are setting up CT infra for regulated CA infra. CCA has always been behind the times.
