Overview
- The government confirmed on Thursday that it has received no reports of damage linked to a newly disclosed critical vulnerability in the programming language PHP.
- Independent Administrative Institution Information System and Ministry of Land, Infrastructure announced temporary suspension of the My Number portal and some ministry web pages to perform emergency inspections and install fixes.
- Multiple banks and securities firms have paused customer-facing online services or run urgent maintenance, though the All Banks Association said interbank settlement systems show no confirmed impact.
- Officials urged organizations to apply vendor patches where possible and recommended temporary site shutdowns when patching is difficult because PHP deployments and dependencies vary across systems.
- The incident highlights how widely PHP is used in web services and underscores the need for rapid coordinated action between government and private operators to limit exposure and protect users.
