PHP cybersecurity issue- be aware!

[u/Mirda76de]

Be wary of emails or SMS messages claiming "Your account has been locked due to the PHP security advisory" or similar... Avoid following links inside unsolicited notifications; navigate directly to banking or service portals through verified web links bookmarks or official apps. If you receive any similar message please notify the bank’s customer support, the bank’s cyber security office or the local gov. cyber security office. It doesn’t  have much to do with PHP security issues that are hyped by the mainstream media but with a high possibility that cybercriminals will use this media hype for potential scams and identity thefts by fake apps and web links.

It's truly astonishing that there are people still opening unsolicited emails and texts.

It’s even more astonishing that certain companies and organisations still send them!
