_Curator's reading of the capture._

Masaland (Japanese blog, English edition), October 2026: what PHP2Shell is and how generative AI is shortening security's time. It says preventive shutdowns hit sites from online banking to airlines and that Prime Minister Takaichi used her X account to urge preparations to apply the patch immediately. There have been millions of attempted attacks, but as of 23 October there are no confirmed or reported intrusions via PHP2Shell, and the page stresses that being attacked and being intruded upon are different things.
