Multiple Pokémon Apps Taken Offline Over PHP Cyber Attack Fears

The PHP programming language, used on all manner of websites and apps, has been found to contain two extremely serious vulnerabilities. So serious, in fact, that various worldwide governments have taken down their websites , rather than leave them open to potential attacks as soon as the fixes are rolled out and the nature of the weaknesses are exposed. Other sites like DeviantArt and Ars Technica have also temporarily become inaccessible in preparation for the updates, with international cybersecurity agencies encouraging sites using PHP (which includes as much as 70 percent of the internet) to take themselves offline.
