Hackers attacked two flaws in PHP four days before they were made public, Amazon reports. On Saturday, Amazon saw an attempt on its network that attracts decoy traffic. PHP is a programming language that a large part of the internet runs on. The flaws are called PHP2Shell and were found with AI models from OpenAI and Google. The bugs had been there for more than ten years. The American NSA warns organizations that use PHP to update immediately or take their systems offline. British authorities are also warning, and according to reports, government sites in Europe went offline to update. Cloudflare saw thousands of attempts at exploitation in the ten hours before the announcement. Now there are millions. Do you run a PHP site? Then install the update released by the PHP maintainers. Experts say that after updating you will probably not find out whether data was stolen. Old sites are at extra risk, such as municipal sites that have not been updated for ten years.
