SHA-2 and SHA-3 Are Broken Evidence of Cryptographic Signature Forgery with Valid Microsoft Certificates on Modified Binaries OMEGA INFINITY

Two different binaries with different SHA-256 hashes both carry valid Microsoft digital signatures. This should be cryptographically impossible without breaking the underlying hash algorithm or compromising the entire PKI infrastructure.
