AI Gets Personal

I'm already sick of the bloody World Eating CVEs of the day, they make the days of unpatched RevSlider feel like my happy place.

I mean come on, at least they gave us a chance and you could understand it, you understood the hows and the whys, it was naughty but it was fair game, the tech versus the basement dwelling neck bearded weirdo who wouldn't say boo to a goose in person. Not now, nah, it's all oh if you hop on one leg, pluck out a nose hair whilst thinking about the difference between a satsuma and a tangerine you can RCE the MI5.

It used to be every few years as well wasn't it, Heartbleed and POODLE killed SSL, I hear people saying TLS now when referring to SSLs, I remember SSL versions dropping like dominos, No SSL v2, no SSL v3 better get TLS no, not TLS v1, ah do one! Then Spectre, or am I confusing it with James Bond? Wasn't Spectre the one where demented Moomins worked out that CPUs made speculations on calculations and left crumbs in the cache so naughty knobheads could steal your thoughts, well your servers' thoughts and then all our CPUs got really slow. I mean that was shit, but they weren't personal.

This, though? These AI supercharged CVEs Grr! php2shell feels like an opening salvo in a war. It isn't targeted at humankind, humanity doesn't know what an inode is, they don't care about namespaces, this is targeted, it's personal, it's aimed at Tech Kind. php2shell is designed to bleed us out, us poor sleep-deprived, caffeine-poisoned night watchmen of your tech, we don't deserve, sure we sometimes stink of damp clothes and BO but still we don't deserve this!!
