With php2shell going mainstream, to the point that random friends who happen to know I'm a programmer, consult me to understand the extent of it, I think they succeeded with their doomerism message.

When we find a bug, we patch it. When we find more bugs, we patch them as well. That's what happened here. Sam is telling us, "we found bugs, it's over" and the general public swallowed the frog.

I mean, there is the bbc interview where they invited a cyber security expert who said he didn't know php existed before the the news broke out. The general public doesn't see that gaff.
