Global scramble to secure websites after critical PHP flaws exposed

# Governments and businesses worldwide are racing to secure their websites after two critical flaws were discovered in PHP, a programming language used to run much of the internet. The weaknesses could allow hackers to take control of vulnerable servers without a password. Millions of attempts to exploit the flaws have been reported, while several countries have temporarily taken websites offline as a precaution. In South Africa, thousands of internet-connected servers use PHP, but no local government outage linked to these specific flaws has been publicly confirmed.
