What the page says

_Curator's reading of the capture._

Fortune India (English): 'PHP2Shell shows how AI is shrinking the window for Indian enterprises to respond to cyber threats'. It relays Zscaler ThreatLabz's figure that its global decoy network saw 1,156 exploitation attempts from 156 unique attacker IP addresses targeting 70 organisations in the first 48 hours after disclosure, including scanning and possible exploitation with remote-code-execution payloads; Amazon's MadPot sighting of an attempt on 17 October, four days before disclosure, with proof-of-concept exploits appearing within hours of the patches and used against its sensors almost immediately; Zscaler's CSO on frontier AI helping adapt working exploits in hours; and Deloitte India partner Sanjeev Singh that defenders may have hours rather than days, that PHP can sit unseen inside appliances and vendor platforms, that exploitation runs with the PHP worker's privileges (in some cases root), and that PHP2Shell should be treated as a potential security incident, not only a patching task. Fortinet's advice on virtual patching is mentioned. Commentary from vendors and consultants.

> Zscaler’s ThreatLabz said its global decoy network observed 1,156 exploitation attempts from 156 unique attacker IP addresses targeting 70 organisations in the first 48 hours after disclosure.
