Sectigo refusal to produce validation evidence for DV certificate issued via cPanel/WebPros subordinate CA

This case concerns a third-party report that Sectigo and/or WebPros refused to produce validation evidence for a DV TLS certificate issued for www.TradingExpertView.com through a cPanel/WebPros subordinate CA. The reporter says the certificate was issued around 2024-03-07 and that a formal demand for the DCV evidence was sent on 2025-09-10. The thread states that repeated follow-up requests were made, but no validation evidence had been provided as of 2026-08-06. The reporter frames the issue as a failure to meet BR audit logging and retention/availability obligations, and also raises a concern about whether proper validation was performed. The bug remains UNCONFIRMED and no resolution is recorded in the thread.
