Anybody who has assets worth more than €5k?

And there's currently no publicly announced plan/date for revoking the affected certs. There's a tool coming out in November that you can use to generate new certs for your own ID card but as it's not compulsory, don't expect 100% of affected people to update in a matter of days, weeks or months.

Aren't these cards in Estonia used for a LOT of things, like banking access? EG: at 50k it's probably not profitable to do this per-user but at 5k it is probably VERY profitable if you could get enough public keys.
Even a single ID card can be valuable - factor a big company CEO's private key, log in to his company's bank, start making transfers to places where the money does not come back from.
