Hi,

I'm not entirely sure if this is the right place to discuss this, but
I also don't really know where else.

Do people have thoughts about suspicious keys like this?
https://crt.sh/?id=8093628131
(Have a look at the modulus / N value, it has a lot of zeros)

This key is certainly not securely generated. What I am wondering:
* What caused such a key to be created?
* Can it be broken?
* Anyone aware of any analysis or relevant research for keys with
  suspicious patterns?
* Should CAs be under any obligation to detect and reject such keys?

(I am detecting such keys in badkeys by looking for 16 repeating bytes,
which I consider as practically impossible to happen by chance in a
proper key generation process.)
