Two cybersecurity developments have raised fresh questions about internet security, digital authentication and online trust. AI-assisted security research has uncovered critical vulnerabilities in PHP, a technology widely used to power websites. Separately, eMudhra has faced scrutiny over weaknesses in digital certificates used to help verify website identities. If exploited, such weaknesses could enable website impersonation and put user credentials at risk. The company’s shares have come under sharp pressure with market expert Ambareesh Baliga warning that the reputational impact could extend beyond the issue’s reported contribution to revenue. India Today's Cyrus John explains the potential risks, the release of security patches and the importance of updating browsers and replacing affected certificates.
