Oops The Internet Broke

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

0:17Two critical remote code execution flaws in core PHP put web infrastructure worldwide at risk.
1:17eMudhra's intermediate TLS certificates used single-digit private keys, one of them simply "four."
2:12A power outage at Google Cloud's London data center disrupts UK banks and online services.
2:59Meta suspends Muse's chat-sharing feature after thousands of private conversations were exposed on the web.
7:57Ofcom struggles to enforce its 4chan fine, while 4chan replies with AI hamster images.
10:11Lime warns riders against jousting on its e-bikes after an organized London stunt.

Riley Murdock has a habit of pausing when a detail is too absurd to read straight, and the certificate story gives him one. Reporting that the Indian certificate authority eMudhra issued intermediate TLS certificates protected by weak single-digit private keys, he stops on the worst of them: "One of them was four. Just the number four."

That moment sits in the middle of a heavy opening for TechLinked's "Oops The Internet Broke." Murdock starts with two critical remote code execution flaws in core PHP, the language running behind a large share of the web. Then comes the certificate mess. Then a power outage at Google Cloud's London data center that knocked out several UK banks and online services. They are three separate problems, but they landed close enough together to justify the title, and the episode drew about 565,000 views in its first day.

The comments explain part of the pull. Many viewers say they work in cybersecurity or look after websites and describe the day as a stressful one, and PHP developers joke about finally making the cover image.

Next Murdock reports that Meta paused chat sharing in its AI agent app Muse after thousands of private conversations were indexed and exposed online, a story the channel also gave its own separate clip. A paid sponsor segment follows, with Murdock playing a flustered "Business Riley" for presentation software, and more than a few viewers point out the irony of an AI ad arriving right after the AI stories.

The quick bits lighten up. Ofcom admits it is struggling to collect a fine from 4chan, which keeps replying with AI images of a hamster. Atlanta votes to ban weaponized autonomous police robots. And Lime reminds Londoners, after an organized stunt, that its e-bikes are for getting around the city and not for jousting. At least one commenter says they were there.
