PHP flaws shut websites; Korea raises alert

Critical vulnerabilities in PHP, a programming language used by about 70% of websites worldwide, have forced government, school, and hospital sites in Europe and beyond offline, with the flaws identified with the help of AI, Korea Times reports. The Korean government has issued a nationwide security alert, raising its cyber crisis warning to '주의' (caution), urging businesses and website operators to apply emergency patches immediately, according to Yonhap via 한국경제 and 경향신문. Security experts say web application firewalls alone cannot fully block attacks, and updating to the latest version is essential, 조선일보 reports.
