If you like your technical stuff with a lot of memes, a dose of existential crisis, and possibly Rickrolling, my talk about Prometheus architecture from DevOpsDays 2023 is out!

So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and Archive.org went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

Replying to @GoI_MeitY
However, some social media accounts are indulging in fear mongering about the impact of this incident. The facts of the case are as follows:
eMudhra operates in two distinct areas:
L1 bidding 🥰🥰🥰
About 14 years ago. We had applied for a tender to run a full penetration test on an Indian bank. Black box. 120 IPs. External.
I don’t remember how much we quoted. But the winning bid was INR 25000 ($250 in today’s terms)
eMudhra and its “independent security verification” and “stringent audit requirements” are likely a result of similar procurement practices.

MeITy which is very quick in responding to blocking instagram, twitter handles has not responded at all over eMudhra. Under CERT-IN rules all of this should have been communicated to them by Oct 17th within 6 hrs. We block innovation and promote sovereignty, we have neither now.

We had logo lessons in school. I dig around to see what I could do beyond what we were being taught, stumbled into commands for 16 turtles with different color pens
I felt so drunk with power

For the first time - a US secretary of state - is visiting India without any planned meetings in New Delhi.
Looks like Marco Rubio took Kamra's advise and is dealing directly with the real boss.
