    It looks like a healthcare provider, so exactly the kind of company you would want to have shitty IT and security infrastructure. A++ work. Absolutely stellar.

    The key excerpts from Digicert:

    > While we have deployed automation with several willing customers, the reality is that many large organizations cannot reissue and deploy new certificates everywhere in time. We note that other customers have also initiated legal action against us to block revocation.

    > Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs) are designed to be temporary while the facts are figured out. Courts routinely grant these to prevent material harm. TROs are legally binding. We did receive a TRO in connection with this revocation.
