AI finds PHP flaws, global websites go dark

Critical vulnerabilities in PHP, used by about 70% of websites worldwide, were discovered with AI assistance, prompting governments and companies to take websites offline and issue emergency patches. The Korea Times reports the Korean government issued a nationwide security alert to businesses and website operators over the flaws. Yonhap notes the discovery was impossible without AI, and Chosun Ilbo says European government sites were temporarily suspended as a precaution, with fears hackers could use AI for large-scale attacks. Experts quoted by Kyunghyang call it a 'double-edged sword,' predicting future AI-versus-AI battles. Maeil Business reports the U.S. NSA advised going offline if patches aren't applied, and the PHP Foundation knew of signs two years ago but couldn't fix them.
