Not quite.
From: https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/10/hackers-obtain-counterfeit-tls-certificates-for-google-and-other-large-services/:
This did not happen like the verisign compromise, where someone posed as a Microsoft employee and got certs with Microsoft's name on them, which was a problem for all other Microsoft certs for servers and clients.
i think we’re talking different definitions of compromised here. the end result either way is bad actors have all the certs. what credentialing system does your voting system require of the authorities?
