Hey folks please upgrade your PHP versions as a new vulnerability called php2shell was published only hours ago that effects millions of blogs and websites.
If you run a travel website, WordPress, Drupal or Joomla blog... this means you. Check with your hosting provider and if you've self installed PHP ensure that you're upgraded.
Updating PHP only helps if your hosting provider has installed the latest security patches. These have been available since 16:00 Amsterdam/Vienna time, and a good hosting provider should already have applied them.
Ask your host to confirm. If they have no idea what you’re talking about, find another hosting provider today.
