The PHP2Shell crisis

Half the internet went offline.

PHP2Shell was a critical vulnerability in PHP itself, the language that powers a large portion of all websites. Attackers could use it to execute code on servers without logging in. Those who didn’t patch in time had to take their sites offline or risk being hacked. Important online business could no longer be conducted.
