Death of the https protocol on russia
At the initiative of the Ministry and Committee for Digital Transformation, the main companies that issue SSL and TLS security certificates for websites, namely GeoTrust, Sectigo, DigiCert, Thawte, Rapid, have stopped working on russia and belarus.
The availability of certificates means that the resources are securely protected and you can transfer your personal data to them. Companies will no longer issue certificates for russian and belarusian sites and will not update existing ones. Therefore, they will automatically become dangerous to all users, and browsers around the world will block them. In fact, this means the death of the https protocol on russia. See the source
