    AI-Discovered PHP Flaws Fuel Warnings of a Cybersecurity ‘Vulnerability Tsunami’

    Cybersecurity executives are cautioning that artificial intelligence might detect and take advantage of internet security weaknesses at a speed exceeding the ability to resolve them. This concern arises after an announcement on October 21 revealed serious vulnerabilities in PHP, a language utilized by millions of websites. AI played a role in uncovering these issues, which might have remained unaddressed for years. Certain specialists suggested that up to 70 percent of online sites could be vulnerable. Jason Clinton, deputy CISO at Anthropic, foresees a “vulnerability tsunami” ahead, noting there won't be sufficient time to secure essential systems. Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, labeled the scenario a “code red.” Efforts to take advantage of the PHP vulnerabilities have already started. Government and private websites in the United States and the United Kingdom briefly shut down their online platforms to apply fixes. The U.S. National Security Agency advised sites using PHP to implement the patches right away, cautioning that hackers could use the weaknesses to gain unauthorized access to servers, steal confidential information, disrupt operations, or infiltrate further into a network. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince stated that the company observed thousands of attack attempts during the 10 hours prior to the disclosure of the flaws. He noted that the count surged to tens of thousands within the first 45 minutes after the announcement, reaching hundreds of thousands in two hours, and hitting millions by the time of his message. Wiz researchers categorized the vulnerabilities as some of the most critical discovered in PHP. https://newsmanset.com/en/black-october-cybersecurity-experts-sound-the-alarm-over-new-era-of-ai-enabled-hacking-29079

    Seven killed, 40 injured in shooting at funeral in Jordan

    Seven people died and 40 were injured when armed men began shooting during a funeral at a Greek Orthodox church in Karak, Jordan, officials reported. Two of the injured are in critical condition, according to Health Minister Ibrahim al-Budour. A person attending the service said intense gunfire erupted 15 minutes into the ceremony. He did not spot the assailants but mentioned that others claimed to have seen four individuals. Broadcasts on Jordanian state TV showed what appeared to be three attackers approaching the church and opening fire. The Associated Press was unable to confirm independently the number of perpetrators, as security authorities had yet to provide further information. A government announcement stated that the assault was conducted by unidentified attackers and mentioned that inquiries were ongoing, but provided no information on whether any individuals had been apprehended or killed. Jordan announced three days of national mourning. King Abdullah II said Jordan would confront the terrorist act targeting Karak with the harshest penalties. Prime Minister Jafar Hassan referred to the attack as a consequence of terrorist beliefs and blind extremism, saying the assailants would be punished and legal measures taken against those seeking to introduce extremism. The killings were denounced by authorities and religious figures throughout the region, along with United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres. https://newsmanset.com/en/seven-killed-and-40-injured-after-gunmen-open-fire-at-church-funeral-in-jordan-29108

    South Korean officials say Kim Jong-un traveled to China over new bridge

    South Korean authorities reported that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made a trip to China via a newly opened bridge. A government official informed Yonhap News Agency of South Korea that Kim reached the border city of Dandong after traveling by train from Pyongyang to Sinuiju and crossing the New Yalu River Bridge. Yonhap also noted that Chinese Premier Li Qiang had journeyed to Dandong. The visit was unannounced, and as of Saturday evening, neither Beijing nor Pyongyang had officially verified it. On Sunday, China is set to commemorate the anniversary of its involvement in support of North Korea during the 1950–1953 Korean War. If verified, the trip would mark Kim's first documented international travel in over a year and his sixth time visiting China. His most recent visit occurred in September 2025, when he took part in a military parade in Beijing alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Japan’s Kyodo news agency noted traffic restrictions near a bridge and a war museum, along with limits on hotel reservations in the surrounding area. According to diplomatic sources cited by the agency, these actions were connected to the arrival of a high-ranking North Korean figure. Xi is set to host the APEC summit in Shenzhen on November 18 and 19, leading to speculation about a potential encounter between Kim and U.S. President Donald Trump. According to Reuters, US and South Korean officials believe there is minimal likelihood of such a meeting occurring this year. https://newsmanset.com/en/kim-jong-un-crosses-over-newly-opened-bridge-into-china-29174

    Young Americans turn to Y2K cars as new vehicles grow unaffordable

    An increasing number of young people in the U.S. are opting for vehicles manufactured in the late 1990s and early 2000s, as purchasing new or recently used models becomes more financially challenging. Jack Price spent $6,000 on a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta after enlisting in the Marines in 2021. Five years later, it continues to serve him well, even with issues like a sunroof that leaks and a headliner that sags. The draw of these older models—often referred to as Y2K cars—lies in their low purchase cost, affordable insurance, and the ability for owners to fix them themselves. Some consumers also appreciate the straightforward controls and the sense of nostalgia they evoke. However, finding good deals is becoming more difficult: cars priced below fifteen thousand dollars now make up 15 percent of the used-car inventory, down from 21 percent, as reported by Cox Automotive. The vehicles come with disadvantages. Consumer Reports auto expert Keith Barry cautions that the presence of long-lasting older models on the road can give a false sense of dependability. Older cars often miss out on numerous contemporary safety technologies and might require regular maintenance. Newer models may provide enhanced safety, but the monthly payment costs present a significant obstacle for younger consumers. Ford launched its Maverick compact truck in 2021 at a base price under thirty thousand dollars, while electric-truck company Slate aims to start processing orders by year's end, with an entry-level cost around twenty-five thousand dollars. Barry warns that even a reasonably priced new car is probably going to cost more than an older secondhand one. https://newsmanset.com/en/the-young-americans-choosing-y2k-cars-over-shiny-new-suvs-i-get-so-much-crap-from-people-29060
