- Kali Linux users will face apt update failures due to a missing repository signing key.
- A new signing key has been created, and users must manually download and install it.
- The one-liner command to install the new key: `sudo wget https://archive.kali.org/archive-keyring.gpg -O /usr/share/keyrings/kali-archive-keyring.gpg`.
- Users can verify the key's checksum: `603374c107a90a69d983dbcb4d31e0d6eedfc325`.
- The new keyring includes both the old and new signing keys.
- Updated Kali images (2025.1c) and weekly builds (2025-W17+) include the new keyring.
- The Kali team assures the key was not compromised and remains transparent about the change.
- Support is available via Kali Linux Forums, Discord, or IRC.
