AI may eventually kill us all, but first it will make us miserable.
You have probably heard of the security weakness in the PHP programming language. If not, it is urgent that you become informed on this issue. It affects a massive number of websites and internal applications. Hackers can bypass security credentials and get full access to servers. Patches are available and should be applied as soon as possible.
Because we have entered a heavy activity period before the December holidays, many companies are in lock-down mode. No one wants to risk upgrades during the most busy season of the year. But this is an exception. A five-alarm fire, if you will. The patches are easier than the Year-2000 event, but much more critical to get done now.
Best wishes to my IT colleagues, and my sympathies.
