PHP had a serious hole that let strangers take over websites without a password. It was actively attacked. Website owners should update PHP (and restart the server) as soon as possible.
This October 2026 Bots hit https://t.co/dGD7WqVIqj with >272,000 PHP probes for 3,274 different backdoor file names. Every one got a 404, since the 1998 directory runs no PHP. I turned the list into a free wordlist for blocklists, built with plain awk: https://t.co/XqE6duZzNU
A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a Layer 7 security defense that filters, monitors, and blocks HTTP and HTTPS traffic between the internet and a web application. WAP helps web sites bounce away vulnerability probes like this one: 20.196.193.222 - - [17/Oct/2026:23:11:06 -0400] "GET /gulu.php HTTP/1.1" 404 16
Thanks https://t.co/57BYvP5Tgo for helping to track IP addresses being used to probe for vulnerabilities. It would be nice if large corps helped stop/track this also. https://t.co/E7GK8Sn8hn
@webringonline Ha, thanks! One short llms.txt as a curated map: key categories, tools, and a pointer to the full A-Z. The depth lives in Markdown copies of 70+ pages, a sitemap, and an MCP server covering all 280+ categories. https://t.co/vYJBzWBvMK
https://t.co/5Ys6P1vece has been a hand-built directory since 1998. Today we made it AI-ready, without changing the classic look.

We recommend Cisco users disable the Smart Install (SMI) auto-loading feature on all NSS and DIB network devices to mitigate exploitation by remote attackers. Have you taken this action? Read more: https://t.co/e3XM9taNjI #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth
🚨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.
