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.
