Kali Linux update failures

They lost the key
Kali Linux warns of update failures after losing repo signing key
Offensive Security warned Kali Linux users to manually install a new Kali repository signing key to avoid experiencing update failures.

The announcement comes after OffSec lost the old repo signing key (ED444FF07D8D0BF6) and was forced to create a new one (ED65462EC8D5E4C5) signed by Kali Linux developers using signatures available on the Ubuntu OpenPGP key server. However, since the key was not compromised, the old one was not removed from the keyring.
"In the coming day(s), pretty much every Kali system out there will fail to update. [..] This is not only you, this is for everyone, and this is entirely our fault. We lost access to the signing key of the repository, so we had to create a new one," the company said.
Okay, you guys know about backup's don't you. I would have been pulling my hair out (what's left of it), if this had not ended up in my feed
I've actually had a few wins today. Updated all my docker servers, simplified my firewall scripts, got through a staggering number of things to do, unrelated to my IT learning. Caught up with some friends.
I even managed to find the source of my DMARC argument with Google. Yah.
Today was a good day (for the first time in ages). I am actually starting to program again in a logical and Dr Spock like manner (the one with the pointy ears not that other bloke)
