Is Kazakhstan about to man-in-the-middle diddle all of its internet traffic with dodgy root certs?

South Korea is already doing it.

Chances are, there's a South Korean CA in your Windows box right now. They were added in 2012:

I guess the news here is that Kazakhstan couldn't persuade Microsoft to include it in a windows update.

*Edit, I just had a look and I can't find any national government CAs in the cert store on this Win10 machine. There is an AOL code signing cert though, so now I feel really safe.
