PHP flaws draw millions of hacking attempts amid global push for fixes
Hackers have made millions of attempts to exploit newly disclosed flaws in PHP, widely used software that helps run websites worldwide, as government agencies and businesses work to install emergency fixes, cyber threat intelligence firms say. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince said the company detected thousands of attempts across its network during the 10 hours before the vulnerabilities were formally announced. That rose to hundreds of thousands within two hours of the announcement and eventually millions, he wrote in a post on X.
