Four days after being arrested, some of the Young rioters have already been sent to jail and some for more than a year. It took Ireland at least a year before the Dublin rioters from 2023 ended up before a judge. Ireland surely has the slowest justice system in the world.

🚨DEFCON 1🚨
In a few hours, a critical vulnerability that affects ~70% of web sites will be disclosed. It allows an attacker to upload and execute arbitrary code.
It's probably best if you stop browsing the internet for the rest of the week.

🚨 A MASSIVE internet security emergency is unfolding right now. 🚨
Two CRITICAL vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP, potentially putting millions of websites at risk.
→ NEARLY 70% of websites with a known server-side language run PHP. The potential scale is ENORMOUS.
→ TWO CRITICAL security flaws have been confirmed, each scoring 9.2/10 in severity.
→ Attackers could potentially take control of vulnerable servers remotely, without authentication.
→ Reports suggest PHP versions dating back to 2004 could be affected. The exact scope is still unconfirmed.
→ EMERGENCY PATCHES are scheduled for TOMORROW at 10 AM ET. Website owners are being urged to prepare immediately.
→ Europe's CERT-EU is warning organizations to patch ASAP or consider TAKING EXPOSED APPLICATIONS OFFLINE if they cannot be secured.
→ WordPress, Magento, Laravel and potentially millions of other PHP-powered websites could be at risk.
→ Once patches go public, hackers could reverse-engineer them and race to attack servers that haven't updated.
The vulnerabilities are CONFIRMED. The full technical details remain secret.
Tomorrow, the race between hackers and defenders begins.
This could get ugly. FAST.
