Compromise of Three Top-Level Domains Enabled the Issuance of Fake TLS Certificates for Google and Major Services

Attackers exploited control of the .gh, .sl, and .as domains to modify DNS records and pass automated validation processes, then obtain unauthorized TLS certificates for domains belonging to Google and other global brands. Chrome blocked the certificates identified by Google, but the company warned that browser-level intervention does not protect all users or guarantee the detection of every certificate.

The Economics of Proof: When Verification Becomes Rarer Than Content Production

Vidya Chandran Darbari argues that artificial intelligence has made the production of texts, models, and decisions faster and more abundant, but has increased the value of being able to prove their accuracy before relying on them. The author connects science, medicine, education, verification of chip designs, and autonomous systems through a single requirement: building trust on evidence rather than on a convincing appearance.
