MITM on HTTPS traffic in Kazakhstan

Re:MITM on HTTPS traffic in Kazakhstan by vbezhenar on Thursday July 18, 2019 @02:36PM (#20472734)

I'm from Kazakhstan using the biggest Internet provider (Kazaktelecom) and that's not true for me. No MITM here. May be not yet. Also checked mobile provider (Activ) and no MITM here too. But I saw local news, so probably not fake, though I'm not sure if it'll be mobile internet only or all providers.

Same here. Haven't yet got any SMS or notifications from my mobile/home ISPs, but couple of my friends are reporting that they did / there are many posts at social media, proving the fact, like this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Do5IOHjab/

This comment on the mozilla.dev.security.policy mailing list says that right now it's only for users in the nation's capital: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.security.policy/...

> At the moment, providers started to use the certificate in the capital of Kazakhstan - Nur-Sultan (ex. Astana).

So it may not be nationwide yet.

I'm from capital (Nur-Sultan, former Astana).

I just checked my wife's phone and apparently she got SMS. Funnily enough, her cellular internet now does not work at all. Probably rollout is not going easy.

Seems to affect Astana mobile users for now
