PHP Flaw Sparks Global Cyber Alarm, Korea on Edge

A critical vulnerability in PHP, used by about 70% of websites worldwide, has triggered a global cybersecurity emergency. Yonhap reports that governments and corporations rushed to patch the flaw, with the U.S. advising sites to go offline if they cannot update immediately. In Korea, the government issued a 'caution' cyber alert, but Chosun Ilbo reports that 82% of domestic PHP servers run outdated versions that cannot be patched, heightening anxiety. Korean media, including Dong-A Ilbo and Maeil Business, emphasize the risk of hackers seizing servers without admin passwords, with some calling for a new information security framework in the AI era.
