I've never been asked to talk about the presenter's penis on breakfast radio here in the UK - so it was an absolute joy to join KIIS breakfast in Australia.

[Will Guyatt @willguyatt]

Back covering PHP on your breakfast radio and tv. In the meantime, I wrote this for @lbc

What is PHP, and is my old wedding website a hacking risk? https://t.co/ThzAfgwR2l

Dangerous BS

[Shibo @GodsBurnt]

This is NOT a game anymore.

Rumors are floating around that there is a MASSIVE financial attack brewing…

People will wake up and their bank accounts will be at $0.00 with no explanation.

Attackers will liquidate all investments causing majors stocks to flash crash.

You won’t have time to get prepared when it all happens so make sure you're holding Crypto on a device that isn't connected to the internet ASAP.

Move now.

I think my mailbox might collapse under the hot takes on PHP almost 24 hours too late that say it's a "wake up call."

[Will Guyatt @willguyatt]

Just how much of the internet will be compromised by this? Roughly 70% of the internet uses PHP.

[The PHP Foundation @ThePHPF]

The PHP security team is giving advance notice: Upcoming security release Wed, Oct 21st 2026, 14:00UTC, two critical vulnerabilities, both rated CVSSv4 9.2.

PHP users are encouraged to prepare to update. Earlier release if details become public or active exploit evidence.

It's a shame this isnt in Plain English

[NCSC UK @NCSC]

The NCSC is encouraging UK organisations to prepare for immediate updating of systems using PHP. Where immediate remediation is not feasible, organisations should consider taking the system offline until it can be fully mitigated.

In terms of "another bad day for the Internet?" This has the potential to be disruptive, even if only for admins.

Joined @BBCNewsbeat to discuss the Google Cloud outage.

[Will Guyatt @willguyatt]

Google's own website says "On the rare occasions when a Google data center is affected by a power outage, we have to be ready to ramp up millions of watts of backup electricity in seconds. This is a daunting challenge, which our industry has typically met using diesel generators. But now we’re aiming to demonstrate that a better, cleaner solution has advanced far enough to keep the internet up and running."

[Will Guyatt @willguyatt]

Google's West 2 data centre had an outage this AM and took down services many of us rely on. These sheds are increasingly important to our daily lives.

[Will Guyatt @willguyatt]

This morning's Google Cloud outage is an example of what happens when it's no longer sensible to run your own infrastructure. Resilience and back up is increasingly important.

Why do I wake up early every Saturday? !

[Will Guyatt @willguyatt]

Good work.

[Steven Scott @BlindGuyTech]

I’ll be standing up for the blind smart glasses users tomorrow on the mainstream media! I’ll be on the BBC throughout the day talking about my experience of using the glasses and why we need to dial down the rhetoric towards people who wear them.

Joining @KIIS1065 to talk iPhones, nudity detection and long distance phone relationships after 6am in Sydney.

@bushontheradio If you do, you might as well eat your dinner off the toilet seat, Bush.

[Will Guyatt @willguyatt]

@Stephen_Neal Yes. The 1st gen Apple TV with a hard disk became hackable if I remember correctly.

[Will Guyatt @willguyatt]

Have exploding Russian data centers really taken out bot traffic? The data and reality have not yet matched the vibe. A great video by @Fraser_Knight including me and others.
