Troy Hunt: PHP2Shell vulnerability feared as 'Cybergeddon' but no widespread outages or confirmed breach attributions
Troy Hunt's Weekly Update 527 reviews the aftermath of the PHP2Shell bug, which was widely hyped as an internet-wide catastrophe the previous week. The predicted apocalypse did not materialise, and no internet-destroying outages occurred. Hunt says it took days to find a single story where a breach was reliably attributed to PHP2Shell. He notes that many neglected, unmaintained sites could have been compromised through a readily exploitable bug of this magnitude, and he does not credit the benign outcome solely to the seriousness of the response. The article is commentary and gives no technical details, IOCs or CVE identifiers.
