#### What the page says

_Curator's reading of the capture._

Fortune Italia, 22 October: the bug that could have crashed 70% of the world's sites, what happened. Citing the Wall Street Journal, it says the vulnerability concerns a series of problems in how PHP manages memory, can be exploited in several ways, some taking only seconds, and that in August, after the discovery, an informal working group of security researchers and software engineers was set up, with software distributors and cybersecurity companies, to work out how to fix PHP2Shell.

> Ad agosto, dopo aver scoperto la vulnerabilità, è stato istituito un gruppo di lavoro informale composto da ricercatori di sicurezza e ingegneri del software.

_Curator's translation:_ "In August, after discovering the vulnerability, an informal working group was set up made up of security researchers and software engineers."
