The Internet Went Dark ON PURPOSE (PHP2Shell Honest Review)

A critical flaw was found in PHP, the software behind most of the world's websites, with help from AI. Within hours of going public, attackers probed it millions of times.

This is the honest review of PHP2Shell: what really happened, what the viral fear videos get wrong, and what it means for you.
