Another Update: Fastly saw a 2,775% increase in attack activity across our global network between the peak we reported yesterday (Dec. 4th) and 20:00 UTC today (Dec. 5th).

⚠️ This in-the-wild evidence suggests attackers are relentlessly probing for vulnerable applications at scale. ⚠️

It is worth your time to verify, not just trust, that you have zero exposure, and then drop everything to patch.

After the POC publicly dropped around 21:04 UTC yesterday (Dec. 4th), @fastlydevs detected what appeared, at the time, like a sharp escalation in attack activity.

In the 24 hours since then, the number of requests triggering our NGWAF signals for React2Shell exploded by 2,775% (as shown in the graph).

🌎 Fastly's Security Research team verified that select public PoCs grant attackers the single-step ability to execute commands, exfiltrate data, and gain write access on vulnerable servers.

This means cybercriminals and nation state actors alike face an alluring ROI, which is likely to motivate them to invest in weaponizing and operationalizing this at scale.

We are sharing this intelligence not to sow fear, but to reinforce the undeniable, urgent necessity of patching at this point. We also have a few updates for our customers:

🛡️ Fastly's teams expanded our Virtual Patch for CVE-2025-55182 to detect scan/probe activity and attempts to circumvent our NGWAF protections.

🛠️ We discovered the built-in "Attack Tooling" signal in our NGWAF already detects scanners that emerged in the past 24h to probe for vulnerable apps; we suggest customers investigate any requests that triggered this signal, as it may indicate React2Shell activity.

🤖 Fortuitously, Fastly's Bot Management product flagged some react2shell attack tooling as a "Suspected Bad Bot," offering organizations another layer of defense here.

At this time, Fastly's goal is to provide our customers with breathing room to patch.

The best available fix at this time is to update your apps to the applicable patched versions. We are at the point where it is no longer "if," or possibly even "when," but "how often"?

We will continue monitoring global attack activity, investing in additional mitigations for our customers, and sharing intel with the public community.

Area chart showing 24 hour period spanning 20:00 UTC December 4 through 20:00 UTC December 5. The chart is an updated view since last published chart showing a dramatic 2,775% increase in the volume of requests that triggered React2Shell signals in Fastly’s NGWAF leaking at 19:00 UTC on December 5.

前にも書いたが、維新の大好きな「身を切る改革」がしたいならば議員定数を1割減らすのではなく、歳費を1割減らせば、節約という意味では同じことなので、そうすべきなのである。

歳費x(議員定数x0.9)は
(歳費x0.9)x議員定数と等しい。

🤣Timely!

MKBHD just reviewed a Xiaomi SU7.

Don't hear it from me. Take it from a known Tesla fan.

And in the question 'Are "we" cooked?' who is "we?" More than 99% of US citizens would benefit from cheaper EVs. And the whole planet would be less "cooked" if we accelerate phasing out fossil fuels.

And in terms of "Doesn't have mind blowing features that US cars don't have..." That's true for the Xiaomi.

But BYD has a car that lets you press a button on the screen that will launch an integrated drone while you are driving. The drone will follow your car.

You're basically an aircraft carrier.

Do you need a drone that will follow your car? Do you need 1,500 horsepower? Do you need 25 speakers in your car?

I'm not sure that the answer to any of these questions is yes.

But if you take these features out, you can sell EVs for under $18K. That's the magic price point for mass adoption.

It kinda tells you everything you need to know that no one at Apple ever verbally came out in support of Alan Dye, but as soon as Steve Lemay is announced to be in charge, former and current Apple designers have verbally expressed excitement, relief, and support.
