AI is exposing how fragile the web really is. What you can do to stay safe

Researchers used AI to uncover P2PShell, a decade-old vulnerability in a coding language that powers 70% of websites, allowing remote code execution. The discovery forced urgent updates, with some European government sites temporarily offline. Experts warn this won't be the last such flaw, as AI supercharges both attackers and defenders. While users can't fix infrastructure-level bugs, they must install software updates promptly, avoid clicking suspicious links, use unique passwords managed by password managers, enable passkeys and two-factor authentication, monitor accounts, freeze credit reports, and establish family code words. AI makes phishing more convincing, so verify messages through official channels rather than clicking links.
