Websites taken offline as a precaution: widely used programming language vulnerable to hack

Vulnerabilities in PHP could allow remote control of servers, affecting around 70% of websites globally, including WordPress. A critical security update is scheduled for release, and experts warn that cybercriminals may exploit these vulnerabilities immediately after. Companies are urged to update their systems promptly to prevent attacks, as the speed of malicious script development has significantly increased due to AI tools. Additionally, organizations are advised to take precautionary measures by taking non-essential PHP applications offline until updates are applied.
