One domain parking actor is responsible for nearly 10% of all issued ssl certificates. 185.53.178.99. This is just one of many bad actors.

This belongs to a German company called Team Internet AG [1]. Are they really a bad actor? What's the reason to issue so many SSL certificates?

Interesting. Personally I find it questionable to squat so many domains for ads. But they pay for it and it is within the legal framework.
