Entrust (now Sectigo) is involved with this [0] (cross signed an intermediate) [1] Even last year buying a Sectigo cert got you an Entrust cert with no mention of Sectigo/Comodo[2] (maybe more of a Character.AI situation than a sale)

This is probably a rough definition for "Entrust was banned from being a CA and sold the business off to a competitor". In part, because I also do not think the root programs would just allow Entrust to continue operating the same business under another brand name, unless they are even dumber than I already thought.
