There's some pretty big news in the tech world right now, and if your business has a WordPress website, it's worth paying attention.
Researchers have uncovered major security vulnerabilities in PHP, the programming language behind WordPress, with help from AI. Attackers are already at work exploiting the flaws.
Before you panic, not every WordPress website is vulnerable, and security patches are already available.
Here's what you should do today.
1. Check your PHP version.
In your WordPress dashboard, go to Tools → Site Health → Info → Server to find your PHP version.
2. Check with your hosting provider.
Ask if they've applied the latest PHP security patches. Updating WordPress alone won't fix a vulnerability in PHP itself.
3. Verify your backups.
Make sure you have a recent backup and know how to restore it if something goes wrong.
Your website isn't a set-it-and-forget-it situation.
Regular website maintenance goes beyond keeping things running. Protect your business.
