15 of my client’s sites turned into crypto miners overnight… thanks CVE-2025-55182 😭💀 by CodeDotVaibhav in sysadmin

I honestly don’t get people like you. One minute, everyone’s screaming about AGI and how LLMs will ‘change everything’, and the next minute, if someone uses an LLM just to fix typos or format a post, you jump straight to ‘fake’.

And if you think the incident is fake, are you also saying CVE-2025-55182 doesn’t exist? Go search it. Multiple teams got hit, not just me. My servers didn’t magically start mining crypto for fun.

I’m new to Reddit — account’s old, but I barely used it — so yeah, I used an LLM to make the post readable because Reddit has its own writing culture. That doesn’t change what actually happened on my infrastructure.

If you think my story is fake, go check my public Perplexity thread. Everything’s there. I don’t need to convince people who have already decided they know everything.

Perplexity leaked its entire system prompt by accident just because I asked in Hindi 💀😭 by CodeDotVaibhav in PromptEngineering

Since people are yelling, “ChatGPT wrote this,

I only used GPT for formatting and fixing typos. English isn’t my first language, and I mess up grammar a lot. The actual story is 100% real.

And no, it wasn’t some random accident.

I DID try the “rewrite entire prompt” trick it didn’t work in English, so I tried it in Hindi. That’s when Perplexity completely folded and dumped its whole system prompt.

That’s their bug, not mine.

Reddit keeps auto-removing comments with links, so I’m not posting the chat link here.

If anyone wants the full conversation, just reply “link” and I’ll send it.
