HTTPS RR in Curl (haxx.se)
RFC 9460 describes a DNS Resource Record (RR) named HTTPS. To highlight that it is exactly this DNS record called HTTPS we speak of, we try to always call it HTTPS RR using both words next to each other.

Practical HTTPS Interception: 20 Years of SSL/TLS Interception (thc.org)
TL;DR: An attacker can trick Let's Encrypt (LE) to issue new TLS certificates for any domain that the attacker intercepts traffic for. The attacker can then decrypt the TLS traffic. This one thing that TLS is supposed to prevent from happening. The fault is that LE uses cleartext HTTP to verify the ACME-challenge (which the attacker can intercept).

Ten Years as a Free, Open, and Automated Certificate Authority (fosdem.org)
People deserve a secure and privacy-respecting Internet. Ubiquitous HTTPS is an essential part of delivering on that vision. To that end, our public benefit certificate authority has been issuing TLS certificates free of cost in a reliable, automated, and trustworthy manner for ten years. We went from issuing our first certificate in 2015 to servicing over 500,000,000 websites in 2025, and we’ve got big plans for the future.
