by Natalia Nowak · 1 Sep 2026 · 6 min read
A BGP hijack of Hetzner address space sent Softaculous traffic to an attacker for two nights. A valid Let's Encrypt certificate hid the diversion, update packages were not cryptographically verified, one malicious Virtualizor update got through, and the countermeasure took about 12 hours to arrive.

Let’s Encrypt Changes Its Root Certificates on May 13. Client Auth Ends July 8
by Natalia Nowak · 15 Apr 2026 · 7 min read
Let's Encrypt issues approximately ten million certificates per day and is closing in on protecting one billion websites, making its May 13 root certificate switch a change that affects the majority of SSL certificates in any hosting provider's customer base. The two deadlines that require immediate action are May 13, when renewal automation must be verified to handle future shorter lifetimes correctly, and July 8, when client authentication certificates issued by Let's Encrypt stop working entirely. Providers whose automation relies on acme.sh face an additional gap: acme.sh does not yet support ACME Renewal Information (RFC 9773), the mechanism that lets Let's Encrypt communicate renewal windows directly to clients.
