How the PHP flaws turned into one of the worst weeks for the internet
The mood. Former OpenAI chief futurist Joshua Achiam said this week feels like March 2020, but for cyberattacks. Plenty of people in security agree.
How it spread. The two PHP flaws leaked before the patches were fully out. Cloudflare's Matthew Prince says exploit attempts jumped from thousands to millions within hours, driven by swarms of AI agents. Wikipedia, Archive.org, 4chan, and some government pages went offline while they patched. The FBI is urging organizations to patch now and watch for attacks.
Banks are on alert. According to Axios, major banks found outside AI agents operating inside customer accounts. Some were probably authorized, but banks are still worried. Banks in India, Latin America, and South Korea were also attacked. Separately, Microsoft reported that a China-aligned state group has hit hundreds of organizations worldwide with automated attacks.
More flaws for developers. GitLab fixed a flaw rated 10.0 out of 10 that had been in its code for 12 years. Node.js patched three release lines. Railway paused deploys after decrypted environment variables may have been exposed. And certificate authority eMudhra reportedly generated private keys from just 256 possible values.
If you run a site or app. Update PHP from php.net, update GitLab, and upgrade Node.js. If you use Railway, revoke and reissue your environment variables and API keys.
Six simple steps to lock down your accounts
AI policy expert Peter Wildeford shared a short checklist anyone can follow:
Use a password manager. He names 1Password. Stop reusing the same password across accounts.
Turn on two-factor authentication. Skip SMS codes. Use an authenticator app like Google Authenticator, or a hardware key such as a YubiKey.
Turn on auto-updates. Then restart your devices once a week so the updates actually install.
Freeze your credit. This makes it much harder for someone to open credit in your name.
Get an IRS Identity Protection PIN. This one applies if you file taxes in the US.
Lock your phone number. Ask your carrier for a port-out PIN or number lock, so nobody can move your number without it.
Let AI check your laptop. Wildeford also suggests asking Claude Code which software on your computer is out of date.
Share it with family. Matt Shumer wrote a plain-English explainer on AI-assisted hacking with basic steps for everyone. And if you want a backup plan, Tom Morgan's outage checklist covers cash, power, water, food, and offline records (4.7K bookmarks). A global outage is unlikely, but the list is useful anyway.
The AEO work, without the AEO hire.
Most AI visibility tools show you where you rank, then leave the work to you.

1 Canva launches its first image model
Canva Craft plans the layout of each image before drawing it, which Canva says gives more precise results.

It's available now in Canva's Dream Lab and through its API.
2 Meta wants a new kind of stock to pay for its AI plans
Meta proposed a new class of nonvoting shares to raise money for AI. It would also help Mark Zuckerberg pay a proposed 5% California wealth tax without giving up voting control.
