This!

Also, this is the response from official Indian Ministry of Electronics & IT:

…” However, some social media accounts are indulging in fear mongering about the impact of this incident.…”

Bruh, you just literally 4 as private key

Lol

Edit: removed a section as rightly pointed out in comment below!

This reaction always gets me:

“One of eMudhra’s certificate authority private keys is the number 4. Not a number that starts with 4, or the number 4 followed by a few hundred random digits, just, 4… Another one is 56, and another is 115. I know, because I recovered all of them from their public certificates on my laptop just now, and it took less than a second,” wrote Helme.

Security researcher Scott Helme was among those who recovered the keys. This is a hall-of-fame level fail.

Private key, not public key.

> Bruh, you just literally went ——— BEGIN PUBLIC KEY ——— 4 ——— END PUBLIC KEY ———

No, their private key is 4. Moreover, you wouldn't see the literal number 4 because the PEM key file would have the cryptographic sections encoded in base64.
