Botnets Target PHP Servers and IoT Devices in Rising Cyber Attacks

Cybersecurity researchers report a significant increase in attacks on PHP servers, IoT devices, and cloud gateways, driven by botnets such as Mirai, Gafgyt, and Mozi. These botnets exploit known vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations to expand their control over network resources. With PHP powering over 73% of websites, the rise in incidents highlights the vulnerabilities present in widely used technologies.
