Two critical PHP vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), a leak before the patch and millions of PHP servers on the Internet. We used VirusTotal Internet Scanning to measure who is exposed, what they run and how to cut the window: blog.virustotal.com/2026/10/…

detected and explained by VirusTotal Code Insight
🚨 There’s a large-scale supply chain attack in progress: the NPM account of a reputable developer has been compromised. The affected packages have already been downloaded over 1 billion times, meaning the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk. The malicious payload works by silently swapping crypto addresses on the fly to steal funds. If you use a hardware wallet, pay attention to every transaction before signing and you're safe. If you don’t use a hardware wallet, refrain from making any on-chain transactions for now. It’s still unclear whether the attacker is also stealing seeds from software wallets directly at this stage. Excellent report here: jdstaerk.substack.com/p/we-j…
