  After four days of attacks on two critical PHP flaws, Anthropic's security chief posted as bad as things have gotten in the past 4 days, they are going to get a lot worse before they get better.

  He told security leaders to please go to your boards and ask for help right now, for the basics rather than AI, and said defenders need to hold on for about 18 months. When a reply blamed AI labs for the problem, he answered yes. it was always going to be this way. we tried to warn the world.
