Widespread internet disruptions caused by the discovery of two dangerous security flaws in one of the most widely used programming languages ​​in the world reached Japan after several European countries and caused the suspension of some of the services of banks, airlines, railways and government institutions in that country.

On Friday, November 1, Reuters reported that Japan's SoftBank, one of the country's largest mobile phone operators, temporarily disabled the system for sending emergency alerts to its subscribers to fix these vulnerabilities.

These disruptions occurred following the identification of two very dangerous vulnerabilities in the "PHP" programming language, which is used in a large part of the world's websites and many Internet services depend on it to process information and respond to users.

On Wednesday the 29th of Mahar, government websites and internet services in countries such as the Czech Republic, France, the Netherlands and Belgium were temporarily unavailable to prevent possible abuse by cyber attackers.
