Global government sites affected by programming flaw

Security vulnerabilities in the PHP programming language, widely used in websites such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and Magento, have led to the disruption of government and other sites worldwide. Security updates released by the language's developers revealed that these flaws remained undetected for years and are now being exploited using artificial intelligence, prompting government agencies to temporarily suspend their services as a precaution. Experts warn that hackers are using AI tools to quickly exploit these vulnerabilities before updates can be applied, increasing the risk of widespread cyberattacks. Several international and government institutions have shut down their online services—including ports, governments, and agencies responsible for highly sensitive sites—to protect their systems. Cybersecurity experts have urged users to update their software immediately or temporarily shut down their websites until patches are issued, as these vulnerabilities pose a broad and ongoing threat that has persisted for over a decade since the use of PHP began.
