Web Browsers: Rogue Certificates on the Fediverse and Mozilla Localization in 2023

Matthew Palmer: Pwned Certificates on the Fediverse
As well as the collection and distribution of compromised keys, the pwnedkeys project also matches those pwned keys against issued SSL certificates. I’m excited to announce that, as of the beginning of 2024, all matched certificates are now being published on the Fediverse, thanks to the botsin.space Mastodon server.
Want to know which sites are susceptible to interception and interference, in (near-)real time? Do you have a burning desire to know who is issuing certificates to people that post their private keys in public? Now you can.

Mozilla ☛ Mozilla Localization (L10N): Mozilla Localization in 2023 [Ed: Mozilla gives Baker over 6 million dollars a year to finish off Firefox; those who contribute translation get paid nothing. Does this seem fair?]
A Year in Data
The Mozilla localization community had a busy and productive 2023. Let’s look at some numbers that defined our year:
- 32 projects and 258 locales set up in Pontoon
- 3,685 new user registrations
- 1,254 active users, submitting at least one translation (on average 235 users per month)
- 432,228 submitted translations
- 371,644 approved translations
- 23,866 new strings to translate
Thank you to all the volunteers who contributed to Mozilla’s localization efforts over the last 12 months!
