Ok, so we are talking about exploiting a Windows machine running a webserver serving PHP.

Just to calm people down, this doesn’t mess with your computer just because it runs Windows and you happen to look at a php site.

Only on Windows machines serving PHP using Chinese and Japanese language locales. And it’s already been patches some time ago. So the impact is pretty limited, yet a lot of news is being reported like the world is ending.

Damn, I only skimmed the article, this is completely blown out of proportion

Desperate grab for clicks, this is using a php exploit on a windows webserver.

You know, shit that happens a thousand times a damned day
