Comment Something's not right here... (Score 1) 207

According to GlobalSign (one of the largest CA's), they stopped issuing 1024bit keys back in 2010... The lowest encryption they (and most CA's) use now is 2048bits. https://www.globalsign.com/support/faq/sslfaq.php All orders placed from November 29th 2010 will only be accepted with a CSR key length of 2048 bits or higher. This is to fully comply with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Recommendations (NIST) and the mandatory requirements by Microsoft's Root Certificate Program to issue Certificates from a minimum of 2048 bits by January 1, 2011. Maybe it's related to the Y1969 bug :)

Yeah, but the problem is that even the lawyer for the kids argued that the parents should be held liable/responsible for this, not the kids. The judge disagreed. Not only that, when the parents offered a settlement that would have probably paid for the medical bills, on behalf of their kids, the other family refused it. That's bullshit.
