    php.net was serving out malware

    http://arstechnica.com/security/2013...-with-malware/

    And no, I don't mean just punting PHP binaries.

    How on earth could someone exploit something made in PHP!

    We don't know how it was exploited yet - it's not necessarily PHP that was the problem. It's going to be a tough announcement for them if it is.
