> The SKS keyserver pool is now infected with some bad certificates which can cause a denial of service attack to gpg (and likely other similar tools). It sounds like it would be prudent to either disable downloading keys or switch to a safer keyserver for now.
> Ideally, users should be able to upload their own GPG keys, and that uploader could automatically filter out these types of malicious keys. This would be a separate feature, though, but now it seems more useful.
