LH033 checkpoint, 26 October 2026
Working record, unreviewed. Read at 06:37 UTC (Censys and, it being a Monday, W3Techs); Censys's snapshot says it was refreshed at 06:15 UTC. Tables: data/read-2026-10-26T0637Z/tables.json. Completed days run from day 0 (21 October) to day 4 (25 October). Written by the scheduled daily run.
Revisions
None: days 0 to 3 in this read are identical, field for field, to the baseline read of 25 October 08:55 UTC.
Censys: share of version-reporting services in each fixed branch counted as patched (observation, its classification)
| Branch | Day 0 | Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Services in branch, day 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8.2 | 2.1% | 22.1% | 41.2% | 46.1% | 48.1% | 5.76 million |
| 8.3 | 1.8% | 23.8% | 42.2% | 45.9% | 47.8% | 7.51 million |
| 8.4 | 4.3% | 35.3% | 58.5% | 62.3% | 63.5% | 3.08 million |
| 8.5 | 1.9% | 36.1% | 70.5% | 73.3% | 74.5% | 3.10 million |
Day 4 added between 1.2 and 2.0 points in each branch, against 2.8 to 4.7 on day 3: the rise is slowing, which is a description of Censys's count, rescans included, not of what operators did. 8.2 and 8.3 remain below half.
Censys: the tail no fix reaches
Day 4: 23.6 million services on branches PHP did not fix, 54.8 per cent of the 43.1 million that reported a version (55.1 per cent on day 3). Services reporting no version: 57.8 million, 57.3 per cent of all PHP services counted.
W3Techs: websites at or above the fixed patch, within each minor (dated 26 October 2026)
8.2: 2.8 per cent (1.9 on 25 October); 8.3: 3.8 (2.6); 8.4: 6.0 (4.2); 8.5: 8.3 (5.9). W3Techs visits each site about once a month, so these rise slowly by construction.
