Websites across world hit by millions of attempts to exploit PHP code flaw

Problem in language that underpins 70% of sites has led governments and companies to pull sites offline to patch fault

Websites around the world have been hit by millions of attempts to exploit a recently discovered vulnerability in their code, cybersecurity companies have said, as the US warned the flaw could allow attackers to take control of web servers, steal data and disrupt services.

The problem in the PHP programming language, which underpins about 70% of the world’s websites, emerged on Wednesday causing governments and companies to pull their websites off the internet before they could be attacked and so they could patch the fault.

Sen. Wyden Warns of Another Section 702 Abuse

25 de Março de 2026, 08:02

Sen. Ron Wyden is warning us of an abuse of Section 702:

Wyden took to the Senate floor to deliver a lengthy speech, ostensibly about the since approved (with support of many Democrats) nomination of Joshua Rudd to lead the NSA. Wyden was protesting that nomination, but in the context of Rudd being unwilling to agree to basic constitutional limitations on NSA surveillance. But that’s just a jumping off point ahead of Section 702’s upcoming reauthorization deadline. Buried in the speech is a passage that should set off every alarm bell:

There’s another example of secret law related to Section 702, one that directly affects the privacy rights of Americans. For years, I have asked various administrations to declassify this matter. Thus far they have all refused, although I am still waiting for a response from DNI Gabbard. I strongly believe that this matter can and should be declassified and that Congress needs to debate it openly before Section 702 is reauthorized. In fact, ...

Relatório da Honeywell aponta que ataques de ransomware direcionados a operadores industriais aumentaram 46% no primeiro trimestre de 2025

6 de Dezembro de 2025, 11:42

Em uma onda crescente de ameaças cibernéticas sofisticadas contra o setor industrial, os ataques de ransomware aumentaram 46% do quarto trimestre de 2024 para o primeiro trimestre de 2025, de acordo com o novo Relatório de Ameaças à Segurança Cibernética de 2025 da Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON). A pesquisa também constatou que tanto malware quanto ransomware aumentaram significativamente nesse período, incluindo um aumento de 3.000% no uso de um trojan projetado para roubar credenciais de operadores industriais.

“Operações industriais em setores críticos como energia e manufatura devem evitar, tanto quanto possível, paradas não planejadas – e é exatamente por isso que são alvos tão atraentes para ransomware”, disse Paul Smith, diretor de Engenharia de Cibersegurança da Honeywell Operational Technology (OT), autor do relatório. “Esses invasores estão evoluindo rapidamente, utilizando kits de ransomware como serviço para comprometer as operações industriais que mantêm nossa economia em movimento.”

A Agência de Segurança Cibernética e de Infraestrutura (CISA) dos Estados Unidos define incidentes como substanciais se eles permitirem acesso não autorizado, levando a paradas ou prejuízos operacionais significativos. Relatórios do setor mostram que paradas não planejadas, causadas por ataques de segurança cibernética e outros problemas, como falhas de equipamentos, custam às empresas da Fortune 500 aproximadamente US$ 1,5 trilhão anualmente, o que representa 11% de sua receita.

Para desenvolver o relatório, os pesquisadores da Honeywell analisaram mais de 250 bilhões de logs, 79 milhões de arquivos e 4.600 eventos de incidentes bloqueados em toda a base global de instalações da empresa, descobrindo:

  • Ransomware ainda em ascensão: 2.472 ataques potenciais de ransomware foram documentados no primeiro trimestre de 2025, o que representa 40% do total anual de 2024.
  • Trojans explorando acesso industrial: Um trojan perigoso direcionado a sistemas de TO – W32.Worm.Ramnit – foi responsável por 37% dos arquivos bloqueados pelo Secure Media Exchange (SMX) da Honeywell. Essa descoberta aponta para um aumento de 3.000% no número de trojans em comparação com o trimestre anterior.
  • Ameaças baseadas em USB persistem: 1.826 ameaças USB exclusivas foram detectadas via SMX no primeiro trimestre de 2025, com 124 ameaças nunca antes vistas – indicando um risco persistente via mídia externa e dispositivos USB. Isso se baseou em um aumento de 33% nas detecções de malware USB em 2023, após um aumento de 700% em relação ao ano anterior em 2022.

O relatório expandiu sua análise para incluir ameaças transmitidas por meio de hardware plug-in adicional – conhecido como Dispositivo de Interface Humana (HID) – incluindo mouses, cabos de carregamento para dispositivos móveis, laptops e outros periféricos frequentemente usados na atualização ou aplicação de patches de software para sistemas locais.

“Com ameaças cada vez mais significativas e regulamentações de relatórios da SEC atualizadas exigindo a divulgação de incidentes materiais de segurança cibernética, os operadores industriais devem agir de forma decisiva para mitigar o tempo de inatividade não planejado e os riscos dispendiosos, incluindo aqueles relacionados à segurança”, disse Smith. “Aproveitar a arquitetura Zero Trust e a IA para análise de segurança pode acelerar a detecção e permitir uma tomada de decisão mais inteligente e uma defesa proativa em um cenário digital cada vez mais complexo.”
