Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.

So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and Archive.org went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

Some have been talking about Superintelligence, RSI, Alignment, superhuman hacking etc for more than a decade. Much of this was always pretty clear, if you thought carefully. If you only cared about AI after ChatGPT, I don't really respect your ability to think about the tech

BREAKING: Hackers steal personal data of thousands of children after a UK company was breached using the password “Password1" — which had remained unchanged for 12 years.

PHP Foundation avisando de que si dependes de este reconocido repo third party, estás al horno porque el flaco se fue de vacaciones. Es terrible lo poco preparados que estamos para el mundo que se vino
Replying to @ThePHPF
If you rely on the volunteer maintained rpms.remirepo.net we urge you to move to distro packages or building from source now, so you can immediately apply updates. The repo will not have updates today.

Anyone wanna take a guess at what’s going on here or has there now been enough indisputable proof that openai is monitoring the logs of high profile experts.

There is an (unpatchable?) supply-chain zero-day in PyTorch autograd that allows a regularization term to use the model's weights as RAM and SGD as its CPU clock to run any computation during training.

Loved your talk so much, you’re an incredible speaker. I was reminded of the “summercon moyix tax”, allegedly ticket prices go up if you’re speaking. I can see why. Thanks for doing this!

Go forth and open-source every IoT device in your house. Dump their comms. See what they're sending home. God speed.

We have an epic bug to show off soon, but after seeing the marketing and branding of the PHP bugs (it's well done and I enjoyed much), I'm not convinced we can beat that level of branding despite our bug being "holy grail of web server pwn" 😭
