The official website of Bangladesh Bank has been kept offline due to concerns over a possible cyber-attack. However, internet banking and mobile banking transactions are functioning normally, so customers are not facing any issues with their transactions.
Regarding this, Bangladesh Bank spokesperson Arif Hossain Khan told Chitra Post on Thursday night that the website is being checked for any faults. This decision was made due to concerns about worldwide attacks. There are no problems for customers in their transactions as a result.
Currently, the internet and software are extremely important for delivering government services, banking, e-commerce, media, and various online platforms. A significant portion of these websites relies on the PHP programming language. Recently, after two critical security flaws were identified in PHP, there has been global concern about cyber security.
According to BBC and Chitra Post reports, after two critical security flaws were found in PHP, a widely used programming language for developing and managing websites, various governments have taken emergency actions. Following the news of the flaws, governments and commercial enterprises worldwide have shut down their websites since Wednesday night. Despite this, there have been millions of hacking attempts reported.
Using artificial intelligence (AI), a researcher has discovered two highly dangerous flaws in a programming language called PHP. This programming language has been used in nearly all major web architectures worldwide, prompting unprecedented precautionary measures across the globe.
