The pertinent page [1] of a local ISP, Kcell, is interesting - very devious.
> Kcell JSC informs its customers of the need to install Security Certificate on personal devices capable of connecting to the Internet
> Due to the increase of identity and personal data theft, including stealing money from bank accounts, introduced a security certificate as an effective tool to protect the country’s information space from hackers, online fraudsters and other types of cyber threats.
And some FAQs are hilarious (as in hilariously devious):
> What happens if I do not install the Security Certificate?
You may have problems accessing the Internet.
> Will installation of the Security Certificate affect the protection of my personal data?
The security certificate has no access to your personal data.
Yeah, true that, literally, but you forgot to mention something there...
Wow, if only everyone was as smart as Kazakhstan and figured out that this super awersome Security Certificate was "an effective tool" to protect the entire country's information space. And I've been wasting time with strong passwords, 2FA, E2E encryption, full disk encryption, etc. /s
