Sorry for being ignorant here - I have not even been aware that it is possible
to buy a '*.*.com' domain at all.
I though wildcards were limited to having a domain off a TLD - like
'*.mydomain.tld'.
Given a private network and the need to monitor it in a private
company[1], we generated a certificate like this for internal use signed
by a company-internal trusted certificate authority.
Also, given the Subject Alternative Name extension, it is quite possible
to generate a "godmode" certificate for gracefully redirecting proxied
HTTPS requests to an "Access Denied" page or even
nefarious-purpose-logging machine.
