Flaw in programming language could leave websites vulnerable
The head of an Isle of Man company that provides cyber security services is urging Manx businesses to check whether their website uses the programming language PHP.
It comes after a flaw was discovered in the language, which is estimated to be used by 60 to 70 percent of websites.
Chief Executive of the Manx Technology Group Joe Hughes says those who aren't sure whether they're affected or not should contact their hosting company, web developer and IT provider.
He warns older websites are likely to be the most vulnerable:
