Secure Your Servers in Minutes Before PHP2Shell Strikes #cybersecurity #tutorial
32 million PHP servers are still running vulnerable versions, and attackers are already breaking in. Research now reports that hackers compromised 25 servers across four countries, including systems connected to a US government-affiliated organisation.

But they didn’t stop there. Researchers say they extracted credentials and mapped the organisation’s internal identity systems.
And here’s what should concern Australian businesses. PHP isn’t just running your website. It can also be embedded inside security appliances and management systems.
So ask your IT provider today one simple question. Have you checked every PHP installation?
