A.I. Uncovers a Critical Internet Flaw That Could Put 70% of Websites at Risk

A major cybersecurity discovery is raising alarms across the internet, and artificial intelligence helped uncover it. Researchers identified a set of vulnerabilities that involves a programming language that powers roughly 70% of websites worldwide. The flaws could allow hackers to take control of vulnerable servers or access sensitive information, including passwords, without authentication. Researchers say AI helped them find weaknesses that could have taken a team of experts months to identify, and patches are now available. Website operators are being urged to update their systems immediately as the discovery underscores AI's growing role in both cyber defense and digital threats.
