TREE NEWS update: Digital security firm eMudhra is exiting its global website digital certificate issuance business, including for India’s tax portals, after major browser vendors blocked its certificates over a security vulnerability. The flaw had raised cybersecurity concerns worldwide, prompting the company to withdraw from the market.
eMudhra Exits Website Certificate Business After Security Flaw Sparks Global Alert
The retreat is a trust event rather than a commercial one: once major browser vendors block a certificate authority, the damage is to the root of the business model, not just a product line. The immediate exposure sits with operators of India's tax portals and any other properties relying on eMudhra-issued certificates, who now face a forced migration to another issuer. Whether the browser blocks are lifted, and how quickly affected sites re-credential, is the open question; the broader signal is how fast a single vulnerability can end a certificate authority's global footprint.
