Global Websites Offline Due to PHP Vulnerability
Websites worldwide, including government sites in Canada and Europe, were taken offline as a precautionary measure due to a serious vulnerability discovered in the PHP computer language. This language is used to build approximately 70% of the world's websites. While the specific extent of exploitation is being investigated, Amazon reported experiencing attacks before the vulnerability was publicly disclosed. Governments and companies are working to identify their exposure and protect their systems.
