UPDATE: Specific mitigation guidance for the recently identified PHP critical vulnerabilities is now available. Secure your servers today. Guidance and technical steps here: nsa.gov/Press-Room/Press-Rel…
Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.
I never realized how poor .@airtelindia’s customer experience actually is until i saw for myself. Got a fibre connection, then got told connections are full with no resolution. Followed up constantly for a few days then got told it cant be installed. I can take that answer. (1/n)
parties have NO coordination amongst themselves. Different answers from different parties. It is a hell. AVOID .@airtelindia AT ALL COST. Never doing business with them. (1/n)
Naturally I went to a different provider and asked Airtel for a refund and even after 6-7 calls to customer care still no refund. Now they tell me refund cant be issued - for a connection never installed!
On top of this Store person, engineer, customer care all involved (2/n)

Corporate lawyers and others with agendas are creating a lot of FAKE NEWS around President Trump's H-1B Proclamation, but these are FACTS:
1. The Proclamation does not apply to anyone who has a current visa.
2. The Proclamation only applies to future applicants in the February lottery who are currently outside the U.S. It does not apply to anyone who participated in the 2025 lottery.
3. The Proclamation does not impact the ability of any current visa holder to travel to/from the U.S.
.@POTUS signs a Proclamation to restrict the entry of certain H-1B aliens into the U.S. as nonimmigrant workers, requiring a $100,000 payment to accompany or supplement H-1B petitions for new applications.
AMERICA FIRST!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
None of the exceptions described here are in the text of the President’s Proclamation.
whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
Finally some clarity! Thank you
To be clear:
1.) This is NOT an annual fee. It’s a one-time fee that applies only to the petition.
2.) Those who already hold H-1B visas and are currently outside of the country right now will NOT be charged $100,000 to re-enter.
H-1B visa holders can leave and re-enter the country to the same extent as they normally would; whatever ability they have to do that is not impacted by yesterday’s proclamation.
3.) This applies only to new visas, not renewals, and not current visa holders.
It will first apply in the next upcoming lottery cycle.

Omg @Xfinity web portal is so damn shitty! Had to switch between 3 different browsers and waste 30min to get a simple thing done!
Chai means tea. Please don’t call it chai tea. Naan means bread. Please don’t call it naan bread. Kbyethanks
.@Xfinity .@XfinitySupport Great job on designing a system that doesn't let you downgrade your service plan offering plans with deals only on speeds higher than current but not lower. Time to switch!
I completed the AD challenge! Don't miss out on SANS #HolidayHack x @SANSInstitute sans.org/holidayhack #HHC2023

Wth was that frustrating challenge "Reportinator" but OMG what an eye-opener. Solved it using GPT-4 and it caught inaccuracies that were so obvious and I should have caught them but did not. I also learned about AI hallucinations! #SANS #HHC2023 #HolidayHack
