The article discusses the growing issue of mis-issued 1.1.1.1 certificates, which could have compromised the privacy of millions of users.

Cloudflare has acknowledged the issue and is working to revoke the mis-issued certificates, but the extent of the problem and the potential impact on users are still being investigated. The article emphasizes the importance of the 1.1.1.1 service in providing privacy and security for internet users, and the potential consequences of this incident.
