Hash: SHA512

The control message signing key for the Big Eight hierarchies has changed.
The new key is 8E181BEF0BE638962C1A5C98FAFE7B550C18C8B7, available from
<https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/big-8/> and signed with my personal key.
The control message sender and key ID are unchanged.

If you are a news server administrator who accepts signed control messages
for the Big Eight hierarchy, please replace the key in your local keyring
with that new key. The corresponding control.ctl entry is:

## COMP, HUMANITIES, MISC, NEWS, REC, SCI, SOC, TALK (The Big Eight)
# Contact: bo...@big-8.org
# URL: https://www.big-8.org/
# Admin group: news.announce.newgroups
# Key fingerprint: 8E18 1BEF 0BE6 3896 2C1A 5C98 FAFE 7B55 0C18 C8B7
# *PGP* See comment at top of file.

The control messages for the Big Eight hierarchies (comp.*, humanities.*,
misc.*, news.*, rec.*, sci.*, soc.*, and talk.*) was one of the first
control message signing keys generated and is entirely obsolete and
concerningly weak by modern OpenPGP standards. The new key uses
(relatively) current OpenPGP best practices.

Duplicate control messages will continue to be issued using the old key
for the indefinite future. However, be aware that the old key should not
be considered secure and could probably be brute-forced if someone cared
enough.
