The widespread website shutdown

[Dogodefrogo]

Holy fuck did y’all hear about the website shutdown that fucked like 70% of all websites cuz of 2 vulnerabilities in PHP like this shit got a score of 9.2 in a scale of 0-10 on CVSS and was giving people unrestricted access to servers to steal user info or install malware onto the server . This shit took down titans like r34, all of Nintendo online , I think Wikipedia for a bit? And even government websites like idk how you wouldn’t notice these in PHP bot it’s wild how much damage 2 vulnerabilities can be to the whole internet
Edit 70% where affected not all where shut down

Thank god I already migrated these servers to Debian at this point, it was just a two commands to update and upgrade everything.
If this was still running on the XAMPP Windows server, this would've been a nightmare.
