It’s delivered via a fake Google Chrome update. Don’t update Chrome. I don’t use Chrome anyway, but it comes pre-installed on most Android phones

We have installed Bitdefender Mobile Security. Another good one is Lookout Mobile Security and by all means as you said don’t update Chrome!

| **Critical PHP flaws: What to watch for and what to update** |
| --- |
| Hello |
| Emergency security updates are now available for two critical vulnerabilities in PHP,
the programming language that powers many websites and web applications. |
| Known as **PHP2Shell** , these flaws could let attackers run malicious code on an affected
server without logging in. They could steal business data, change website content, or use a
trusted website to target visitors with phishing pages and malicious downloads. |
| **If you’re a website visitor:** |
| |
- Some websites may temporarily go offline while they are patched.
- Watch for unexpected content, downloads, or redirects, and repeated login
requests, even on familiar sites.
- If something looks wrong, leave the page.
- You don’t need to install PHP updates on your own device.
| **If you’re a website owner:** |
| --- |
| |
- Ask your hosting or IT provider to confirm PHP fixes **are installed** , not just
scheduled, across all your websites and applications.
- If they can’t patch immediately, ask whether affected services
should temporarily be taken offline.
- If you manage your own servers, follow [PHP’s update instructions](https://clicks.malwarebytes.com/s/c/FRGnuFv02F-7NL_IEls7JR8jC6pUPmn1FdOUJoNL4dA3Tmqm7sJg9xjz2o5MA410yOnxaN3Y8hbi6nPl3vVjI4x3KuYCaUUsQM6fweYnWy1bSdzM2M7YMHBij5kYfFRykW4FeH1HiWP_kdDZdKQLxywPLp5pzbb4WaAHISV4PZV-2I00PmzNCqR4BNl7Va_yIIBXv7SBp_yxnHjNKmpl02w6zwhAcM6atHLy8vTwSfnLpmC4s8-RNn8ibOYNqF7gZwm-JXQPayRwdZAGopwuU9wLQmTnI9x_0IhahZtFFJtfhX_1dukH7gJsqAKxCOx7leO1zsHgip1mJ9ZyKGxWq4VJm7sMnMbwlb_RrnFvDBbTSmCQXDz43lCUBbJ0QBFtAHya0K5vB7yIZiCplalPbaLBVqfU9RT2vyQwMMYg4XswfxswHZOCBXZvOn0kLRcbpmqxd998kV-TfWjfWygw48N2hk2jZRB3-axBcCVVnn3BTH0Mlveqgx5w_F4PAc2_GAwylo9sP-qRWO-4c2ct1lWNW1dYjpZw8vX8YxtNXyL1TVmseMVTvSYKcMvH6gCnPhhDLtjQppuKlk0GZYz-QGZjAAVqco1bP7SnQHr9lIpBYUBvRz5ZXS_cM1indaTTjs_5Z-N60Zsa4RAU2GO3FO8uEgVtUPionwTSIoOKmtssBzOKZ9QgaZ8W/gk8XT49wn7aAnL0kflAP2i3owqmwCZ0w/25 "PHP’s update instructions").

to a supported version.
