What Happened

A complete RSA private key starting with `-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----` was published to DNS. At this point in scanning the .co.uk zone, the pattern is clear: DNS TXT records are being used as accidental key stores by administrators who confuse their zone file with their server's file system. The key material has been redacted in our display.
