Pokemon, Umamusume and other major games taken offline over critical PHP vulnerability

Pokemon Sleep, Pokemon HOME, Pokemon Champions and several major Japanese games have been taken offline for emergency maintenance as developers respond to two critical PHP vulnerabilities. The outages began on October 21, shortly before the PHP development team released security updates for the flaws. Several services have not provided an estimated return time, leaving players unable to access their games or online accounts indefinitely. Pokemon, Umamusume and major games affected Pokemon Sleep announced emergency maintenance on October 21, with no initial end time provided.
