PHP Flaws Force Websites Offline Worldwide
Critical vulnerabilities in PHP, a programming language used by about 70% of websites worldwide, have forced government, school, and hospital websites across Europe and beyond offline as organizations rush to patch the flaws, which were discovered with the help of AI and allow attackers to execute malicious code on servers without login credentials. South Korea's government has raised its cyber crisis alert to 'caution' (주의), with Yonhap reporting an estimated 110,000 vulnerable servers domestically. Chosun Ilbo adds that about 82% of domestic PHP servers run older versions that cannot be patched, prompting urgent industry responses. Korean media emphasize the heightened risk of AI-enabled large-scale cyberattacks, with Dong-a Ilbo noting the danger that hackers could take over servers without admin passwords.
