Now, after vulnerabilities were discovered, it’s an acronym many more of us are familiar with.

With the help of insiders, we tell the story of the PHP crisis.

Plus, Tech Life speaks to a comedian whose jokes were taken and retold by an AI avatar – which then went on to get millions of views online.

Presented by Chris Vallance Produced by Imran Rahman-Jones (Image: Ondřej Surý, wearing glasses and a checked shirt, smiles at the camera on a video call.) We hear from Ondřej Surý, the programmer whose PHP patches helped avert a cyber crisis.
