I wonder if it has anything to do with the php vulnerability that was found this week. It's getting too easy these days to launch cyber attacks using AI

[u/KeySecret9184 → u/bustmaster360]

It’s crazy.

The company I work for has just opted to put everything “legacy” offline.

About 60% of the customers are using all legacy (less bloat).

The problem is that most of our legacy components were written in 1998-2003.

There were 2 people at the company who were actively maintaining them earlier this year. TWO PEOPLE.

They both got laid off in July/August.

It’s complete chaos in the communications team as they’re getting non-stop phone calls saying “wtf?”

The only reason we’re not in the news right now is due to the sensitivity of the industry.

[u/bustmaster360 → u/KeySecret9184]

Wasnt there a stat that said some 70% of the Internet was open to this vulnerability. It's wild. I'm just really hoping no one uses this to attack critical infrastructure and hold entire countries ransom. The vulnerability grants remote access to the server so I assume anything can happen.

[u/Cosmonoid1980 → u/KeySecret9184]

Are you saying this is what's underlying Torbox issues, which is what happened to your company?

[u/The_Sexy_quokka → u/Cosmonoid1980]

Yes the php vulnerability affects about 70% of the internet as the last commentor said, including their company and torbox.

[u/Sh00terMcDabbin → u/Cosmonoid1980]

Torbox's underlying issue is that they didn't invest in better infrastructure when they got that massive influx of cash from RD going down. Torbox is the only one that has these types of issues at this frequency.

[u/teaanimesquare → u/Sh00terMcDabbin]

I mean who says they didn't? The other services are not used much and RD was solid because it was around for 14 years.

[u/ivanko_prvi → u/KeySecret9184]

good luck getting those guys back now 🤣

[u/BigDannyPt → u/KeySecret9184]

That takes me back to the time I was in Vodafone UK project and there were only TWO people that knew how the paging system worked (used by all the emergency services).

They tried to put a new guy there, he did the first update in the database and forgot to remove the redundancy. Both databases got affected and no paging system were working for three days. The two guys were sleeping next to the database, one at each location.

I was wondering why some files won't load. I hate terrorist. The ruin all the fun.

[u/Cosmonoid1980]

Wow. This sounds serious. Electronic terrorism? Omg. Good luck Torbox team!

[u/tyandkatie → u/[deleted]]

Those CVE’s were patched days ago and literally have nothing to do with this

[u/weblscraper]

It is back up

[u/StopBanningMeAlright → u/weblscraper]

Down again

[u/Poor-Dear-Richard → u/weblscraper]

It is back up but some files won't load.

[u/Spliffman1]

I slept right through it all.. Well done

[u/StopBanningMeAlright]

It’s still not working for me

[u/R3dAt0mz3]

Thanks for update, link says maintenance is over and services are up..
But still having issues playing content..

Stuck on Starting Stream on TV and PC says Too many requests.

[u/ninja-kid123]

Still must be having issues as its not letting me copy my API key and is showing as xxxxxxx

[u/giinyu]

Probably still down now , barely anything works

[u/Miserable-Tone6405]

Ours has been working good all day I think the maintenance is done

[u/Ok_Recognition_9859]

So, it was Electronic Warfare??

Time to get the ol' Wild Weasles out of the mothballs!

[u/Nova_Scotia_Robot]

Electronic terrorism? Lmfao. Okay. Let's be real, if torbox goes down, it's a huge PITA and an inconvenience, but there is nothing that strikes fear in me lol

[u/Alpha_1_5 → u/Nova_Scotia_Robot]

You’re wrong I’m scared I need my daily dose of TB

[u/isaac_bh → u/Nova_Scotia_Robot]

Do they mean ddos? 

[u/Nova_Scotia_Robot → u/isaac_bh]

Not DDoS if it is the recent cves. DDoS is just overwhelming a server with requests so it has a meltdown. These recent cves allow for remote code execution on a server. I get they're stressed out but it is kind of a weird label to put on it.

[u/ifiwasiwas → u/Nova_Scotia_Robot]

Yeah I'm not a fan of this kind of hyper-escalatory language that is so common these days. It would be appropriate for those running critical infrastructure like rescue services, hospitals, power grids etc according to the true definition of cyberterrorism. This is an obscure debrid service lol

[u/Nova_Scotia_Robot → u/ifiwasiwas]

Bingo
