Race to fix PHP security issue in software behind most websites​

Not directly Revolut related (so might be removed) but this exploit wasn't supposed to be announced until tomorrow to give time to websites to patch for it.
Apparently this is a really big deal.
The flaw was discovered by security researchers using AI in a part of PHP, the language behind 2 in 5 website servers.
The fear now is that bad actors will use AI themselves to discover more flaws.

 
I am not very technical but have emailed the company which supports us to see if we are ok.

We do use Cloudflare and they have reacted immediately to some temporary protections in place.
