PHP has released emergency updates that fix two critical flaws in the language itself, letting an attacker without an account run code on a web server. The fixes are in PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35, and the PHP team says only updating fully protects a server. The flaws, together called PHP2Shell, sit in the PHP runtime, not in any application, so a site is exposed even when its own

This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Oct. 21, 2026– Read the Full Story in Fast Company
Cybersecurity Ventures estimated that global cybercrime costs hit $10.5 trillion in 2025, and a World Economic Forum report warns in 2026 that “AI is supercharging the cyber arms race.”
Recently, it’s become clear that modern AI systems are quite adept at discovering software vulnerabilities and finding ways around cybersecurity defenses.
Unintended real-world breaches executed by models from leading AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic during training exercises have drawn widespread concern, and while those companies have restricted access to their most capable models, experts have indicated it’s only a matter of time before less constrained AI systems have similar capabilities. Already, businesses are seeing a rise in cyberattacks, at least partly attributed to AI assistance.
Fast Company reports that increasingly, the best defense lies in . . . artificial intelligence.

The Gentlemen ransomware operation is abusing legitimate Lenovo and Safetica kernel drivers to terminate security software, weakening endpoint defenses before encryption. Acronis Threat Research Unit researchers identified two custom dropper samples during a recent incident, exposing how the group weaponizes vulnerable drivers rather than relying exclusively on conventional process termination commands The technique, known as […]
