Hacking or cyber attacks on computer systems of institutions running PHP have been a matter of concern as there have been vulnerabilities in the PHP coding that can be exploited by hackers or cyber attackers.
In order to safeguard against this, CERT has advised those using PHP to update their computer systems immediately and contact CERT in case they face any issues. It is stated that the government systems of some countries like Canada and Europe have shut down because of fear of cyber attack through PHP.
Last Wednesday, data from SBI and eMudra, which is a firm engaged in digital certificate services, was compromised in a cyber attack.
