  "account": "The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has warned of a high risk of attacks due to two security vulnerabilities in the programming language PHP, which could allow attackers to remotely manipulate websites or spy on data. The BSI cautions of a \"short-term, large-scale exploitation\" if the update is not applied immediately. Security researchers have used Artificial Intelligence (KI) to develop a dangerous attack scenario from seemingly minor errors at an unprecedented speed. This incident marks the beginning of a new era in IT security, characterized by AI-based attacks, requiring new thinking, decisive action, and significant investments.",
