+	  <p>ECDSA signatures using 521-bit keys (the NIST P521 curve,
+	    otherwise known as ecdsa-sha2-nistp521) were generated with biased
+	    random numbers. This permits an attacker in possession of a few
+	    dozen signatures to RECOVER THE PRIVATE KEY.</p>
+	  <p>Any 521-bit ECDSA private key that PuTTY or Pageant has used to
+	    sign anything should be considered compromised.</p>
+	  <p>Additionally, if you have any 521-bit ECDSA private keys that
+	    you've used with PuTTY, you should consider them to be
+	    compromised: generate new keys, and remove the old public keys
+	    from any authorized_keys files.</p>

+	  <p>
+	    A second, independent scenario is that the adversary is an operator
+	    of an SSH server to which the victim authenticates (for remote login
+	    or file copy), [...] and the victim uses the same private key for
+	    SSH connections to other services operated by other entities. Here,
+	    the rogue server operator (who would otherwise have no way to
+	    determine the victim's private key) can derive the victim's private
+	    key, and then use it for unauthorized access to those other
+	    services. If the other services include Git services, then again it
+	    may be possible to conduct supply-chain attacks on software
+	    maintained in Git. This also affects, for example, FileZilla before
+	    3.67.0, WinSCP before 6.3.3, TortoiseGit before 2.15.0.1, and
+	    TortoiseSVN through 1.14.6.
