Live PHP | Important security update is live, also issues abroad

A significant security vulnerability in PHP has led to numerous websites going offline, particularly in the Netherlands. PHP powers around 70% of global websites, prompting urgent updates from organizations. The National Cyber Security Centre warns that some sites may take longer to come back online after updates. Various services, including Infomedics and the Stichting Ambulance Wens, have been affected, with some applications temporarily unavailable. Internationally, websites in Japan and France are also experiencing issues due to similar vulnerabilities. Despite the widespread impact, many foreign sites remain operational.
