    We should include Mint because they had their site hacked and served malware ISOs.

      There’s a difference between getting hacked via an exploit, and letting your certificates expire out of sheer carelessness.

        Right.

        Getting your website hacked and serving malicious ISOs is way more dangerous for users.

        I know what I’d put my money on.
