What the page says

_Curator's reading of the capture._

Sixactualités (France, French), 26 October, by Alain Vernet: 'StealMyBitcoin compromised in 19 hours with the PHP2Shell exploit'. The piece is about a public hacking challenge, a site that invites researchers to attack it, and says the compromise reached the challenge environment and does not mean cryptocurrency wallets were stolen from users. It reports an exploitation lasting 19.28 hours against PHP 8.4.26, a prize of 2,000 dollars in bitcoin that is the challenge reward and not a loss figure, and a key that did not open the expected wallet; it stresses that a challenge result does not show every PHP installation is exposed. The rest is generic hardening advice (inventory PHP versions, patch to 8.4.27 or 8.5.12 after staging, check logs, limit the web service account, rotate exposed secrets). The text is short on sourcing and does not name who attacked the challenge. No exploit detail is recorded here.

> Le piratage informatique a permis d’atteindre l’environnement du défi, mais cela ne signifie pas que des portefeuilles de cryptomonnaies ont été dérobés dans une attaque contre des utilisateurs.

_Curator's translation:_ "The hack reached the challenge environment, but that does not mean that cryptocurrency wallets were stolen in an attack on users."
