In the wake of eMudhra and php2shell, I had two distinct "told you so" moments. First, the underlying issues that led to php2shell were called out by Stefan Esser in the early 2000s and were the reason for his hardended-php patch and the Suhosin extension.
Second, the catastrophic incompetence of CAs is not new. This is a screenshot from a presentation I held at OSDC in 2012. Told you so. But nobody would actually listen.
