Today, 16 years ago, Debian published a security advisory announcing CVE-2008-0166, a severe bug in their OpenSSL package that effectively broke the random number generator and limited the key space to a few ten thousand keys.

Would you rather have an email from someone that has no DKIM or a DKIM from 2007?
