summary: "Security researcher killa breached the unpatched PHP server behind the stealmybitcoin.com challenge within hours of its configuration being fixed, demonstrating that the AI-discovered PHP2Shell vulnerability is exploitable. The breach occurred after LiveOverflow identified that the server was initially routing requests through a static HTML file without initializing PHP, and the operator later exposed an actual PHP endpoint. The server's creator had configured the machine with the wrong Bitcoin wallet address, leaving the advertised $2,000 bounty untouched even after the server was compromised."
