Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korea's science ministry raised the private-sector cyber crisis alert from 'attention' to 'caution' on Oct. 22 after critical PHP vulnerabilities were disclosed, Yonhap and KBS World report. The Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) notified about 5,900 member companies and CISO-obligated firms to take swift protective measures, and the Personal Information Protection Commission urged public and private data handlers to prevent mass leaks, saying the flaws could allow hackers to execute malicious commands without login. The government also strengthened incident-response staffing and emergency dispatch systems. Korean media note the two vulnerabilities are rated 'critical' internationally, and similar warnings have been issued in Japan and China, where PHP dependence is especially high.
