$BTC 🇺🇸 A security bug hiding in the internet for over 10 years has finally been cracked by AI.
The flaw, called PHP2Shell, affects PHP, the programming language behind up to 70% of the world's websites, including online shops, government services and major platforms.
And it's a nasty one. Hackers could use it to take over vulnerable servers, steal customer data, install malware or knock websites offline.
Researchers in California used an advanced OpenAI model to figure out how the bug could be exploited, something that had stumped experts for years.
The good news is that fixes are already out. But websites need to install them quickly, and the FBI is urging those that can't to temporarily go offline.
For regular users, simply visiting a PHP website doesn't mean they're hacked. The bigger worry is personal information stored on sites that haven't been fixed yet.
