AWS says hackers tried to exploit PHP security issues days before fix — as Cloudflare CEO says it saw a huge rise in targeted attack attempts
Evidence suggests PHP2Shell exploitation began days before public disclosure, indicating prior attacker knowledge. Researchers say real-world attacks remain limited, though exploitation attempts rapidly surged after disclosure. Millions of PHP systems remain exposed, with experts urging immediate patching of supported versions. The exploitation of php2shell began four days before the vulnerabilities were made public, Amazon has claimed, meaning someone knew well in advance about the bugs in the popular software.
