Sursa : PHP.net Hacked and Malware Injected

PHP.net, the number one scripting language used in the World Wide Web was reportedly hacked last October 24, 2013.

The official site said that the method by which their servers were compromised is still unknown at this time.

The attackers may have accessed the private key of the php.net SSL Certificate and is now being shut down and will be replaced with a new certificate.

There were two servers that are being compromised and already removed from service. Those are static.php.net and git.php.net. The said servers are hosting a JavaScript malware named “userprefs.js”.

The traces of the said malware were then posted at the hacker news site.

With the help of Google’s Chrome safe browsing, the malware was discovered and the visitors are being informed of the said malware.

The php code itself was not affected by this attacked and php.net said that they will reset the password of the php.net users.
