Question

Do you trust these signers? Update 1.13.1

Hello Community

the new update 1.13.1 just popped up. When I click throuhg the update process the following windows pops up:

To be honest: this does not look very trustworthy. Even if "Legion of the Bouncy Castle" seems to be a legit certificate from Oracle, the other two signers have no information where I could check the authenticity. I will not trust these signers. => i will not install this update.

And by the way: would someone please be so kind to tell Oracle, that "Legion of the Bouncy Castle" is IMHO NOT a suitable name to generate trust. I'd rather expect this to be the self given name of a Nigerian Scammer Group ...

In General i had already serious hedache with trusting the signers in the previous updates. I'd really appreciate it, if ST could add a valid certificate for all this stuff. This time it's simply to much uncertainties. Please fix that, if you can, thank you!

    Why Oracle? CubeIDE no longer ships with JRE from Oracle?

    Why Oracle? Good Question, I have no Idea. I did not pack the installer for this update ...

    the first entry in the list in the screenshot above is, that I should trust "Legion of the Bouncy Castle", which seems to be a branch of Oracle. At least it says so, when I click on that entry and read the description.

    Nope, I did not. But I installed the Software anyway, because I had no other option, but with a very bad feeling in my guts ...
