Great article by @mattstauffer! Definitely worth a read. 👇 https://phpnews.net/php2shell-php-reach

PHP NewsThe php2shell Scare Showed How Much Runs on PHPThe php2shell scare pulled PHP onto front pages worldwide, from Japan's prime minister to the NSA, and showed how much of the internet quietly runs on it.

meh, he's not saying anything new or enlightening, and I think he's conflating what really matters (php foundation being resource constrained) with something that doesn't matter (active exploitation). the former is real, painfully obvious and problematic. the latter is something…

Raz Iacob @raz-iacob9h

Why does it have to be one or the other? The PHP Foundation is underfunded AND monitoring active exploitation matters. Both can be true.

Both are true, but only one really matters. His conclusion is false.
