There are two linked in the article

It was your response. Of course you prefer your response.

The fact is you had no idea how useful or dangerous your advice was. PHP maintainers said to shut it down, how many people followed your advice instead? Did it work or just leave them vulnerable? Do you know?

Because you're heavily implying that the people who knew about the details of the vulnerability were panicking and thank god we had you with an LLM

This is just Claude output. Did you verify anything or just rehash the links?

As far as I can tell none of this is related to the current vulnerability in PHP itself. Even having a site that just returns echo "phone us on XXXX" is vulnerable apparently.

A dynamic language having access to all of the files it has access to is not unique to PHP. Vulnerabilities are not unique to PHP, and I doubt the Dutch National Cyber Security Center took their website offline because they lack user-specific roles in the database: https://www.ncsc.nl/index-en.html

So maybe save your elitism for a day when so many of us aren't already putting out fires? Congratulations on not being part of the 75% of the internet affected.

Given that the base you ran against was faulty and not actually RCE, I'm starting to get sceptical of the truth of your highly upvoted comment.

They've retracted RCE capabilities from that site, said they made a mistake and it's a crash bug. So what base did you use?

Big difference between getting people to buy 0.0000001% at that valuation, and getting them to buy 5%. Even if you assume SpaceX is worth zero, he's still worth $200B

Moat must have been written more times in the last 12 months than in all of history before that time.

In his pocket or what? When SpaceX IPO'd he was valued at over a trillion USD. Currently somewhere over 900MM, and worth more than the 2nd, 3rd and 4th on the rich list combined.

In terms of net worth, you are closer to Jeff Bezos than Bezos is to Musk.

> Is it more expensive to keep your systems upgraded and maintained or to have all your product get destroyed one arbitrary day and then have to pay to do the upgrade anyways so that the arbitrary property destruction doesn't keep happening?

It happened once. Did you do the maths here? Can you tell us which one was Kore expensive and what percentage chance there was of this hack happening?

Saw an interesting app on f droid that lets your encrypt the password with another password and print them as qr codes. Nice idea but no idea why I'd use it
