PHP changes are live. Start patching. php.net/archive/2026.php#202…
Huge thanks to coordinated work by @ThePHPF!
PHP sites behind Cloudflare already have an initial set of WAF rules deployed for the known exploit vectors in these vulnerabilities. The rules are available to all customers, including free.
We are seeing early attacks emerging and are updating mitigations as new vectors show up.
This is a STOPGAP only. Patch as soon as @ThePHPF releases the update at 14:00 UTC today.
📱 Our mobile apps just got a complete rebuild.
New design, instant order updates, buy up to 10 numbers at once, auto-extend rentals, and more.
iOS: apps.apple.com/us/app/smspoo…
Android: play.google.com/store/apps/d…
🔒 Two upgrades just shipped:
- No-JS version of the site for users browsing with scripts disabled: smspool.net/nojs/
- Security key support (YubiKey & other FIDO2/WebAuthn keys) for stronger, phishing-resistant 2FA

🚨BREAKING: The Government announces all UK phones will require ID and surveillance software
This means that Britons will be left with CHILD-LOCKED devices unless they comply with digital ID checks
Protecting children is a noble goal, but the government mandating that all phones come with surveillance software is a crossing of the Rubicon that would make the UK one of the most authoritarian internet regimes in the world

Revolut recently banned using GrapheneOS without any justification. They're falsely claiming to do be doing it for security reasons. In reality, they're enforcing licensing Google Play. Revolut doesn't enforce security standards. It runs on Android 9 with no patches since 2018.
🚀 New: Automated Top-Ups for Business Accounts
Set a balance threshold and forget about it. Save a card, and when your balance drops below it, we charge it for the top-up amount and credit your account straight away.
Every top-up creates a Stripe deposit, so invoices work as usual.

Monero Update: Changes to Direct Payments
Due to EU MiCA and incoming AMLR compliance requirements, we can no longer accept Monero directly.
It's still available through our resellers.

For those who don’t wish to visit the URL:
“This was a difficult but necessary decision. As an EU-based company, we're subject to the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), which imposes strict compliance requirements on financial institutions handling crypto assets. This is compounded by the incoming Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR), which will formally ban privacy coins like Monero from EU-regulated platforms from July 2027. Banks are already de-risking ahead of that deadline, and our banking partner is no longer willing to support our account while we continue accepting Monero directly. Alternative banks have declined to work with us for the same reason.
Monero is still available through our resellers, so it hasn't been removed as a payment option, just moved off our direct platform.
We know this is inconvenient and we're sorry for the disruption. Thanks for your understanding.”

On Thursday, the European Parliament votes on Chat Control 1 (the voluntary scanning, not the mandatory scanning, called Chat Control 2). Again.
The Parliament has already voted against Chat Control 1. Two times. But the Council of Ministers and the Parliament President refuse to accept it.
Now, the Council has demanded an urgent procedure. This is a procedure that is meant to be used for new legislative proposals, not proposals that the Parliament has already rejected. An urgent procedure requires an absolute majority to be rejected (361 out of the Parliament's 720 members). This will be difficult to reach, since those who abstain from voting are counted as a yes-vote in an urgent procedure. By scheduling the vote during the summer, they are making it even harder to reach those 361 no-votes. This is downright dirty tactic by the Council and the President of the European Parliament.
The President of the European Parliament has sided with the Council against her own chamber. For context, this is the EP President, Roberta Metsola:

Great meeting film legend, entrepreneur and all round good guy Ashton Kutcher @aplusk at @Europarl_EN today to discuss Europe's efforts to protect children.
Grateful for his tireless commitment and determination in the fight against child abuse and trafficking.
Trustpilot's review of a death threat and racial slur left against us: 'doesn't go against our guidelines.'
Good job @Trustpilot for allowing this very informative 1* review.

This is a Trojan horse that will eliminate privacy on the internet.
Why not make devices just for kids if you want to protect them? Why KYC every single person on the internet?
Because this is about control, not children.
PASSED: the KIDS Act requires age verification on obscene websites, sets nationwide standards enforced by the FTC, and empowers parents, while letting states pass even stronger child protections.
Thank you @RepGuthrie!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Note absolutely needed. Don't use CNs to push and allow these people to censor the internet and Control Citizen's Lives.
A CN is absolutely needed ro expose the lies and trojan horse that is this bill.

Shameless @AMD
AMD has quietly removed the security feature called Transparent Secure Memory Encryption (TSME) from consumer Ryzen processors via newer BIOS firmware updates.
This encrypts data stored in RAM, making it harder for someone with physical access to steal information
The hardware remains capable of supporting the feature, which is still available on Ryzen Pro and EPYC processors. Users discovered the change only after updating their BIOS and noticing that memory encryption was no longer available.
Many users feel AMD should have clearly explained the change, especially since some systems lost the feature after firmware updates.
AMD has not provided a public explanation for removing memory encryption from consumer Ryzen CPUs.
