South Korea's government has begun a response to a spreading PHP security threat, including the distribution of security patch guidance, according to the Ministry of Science and ICT.

Government response under way

The Ministry of Science and ICT has started a response to the PHP security threat, including providing security patch guidance, as the original notice describes the government as having "initiated a response, including security patch guidance."

The National Intelligence Service is also referenced in connection with the threat notification, and related materials — including advisory images — have been published through the government's security portal (boho.or.kr).

What remains unconfirmed

The full text of the ministry's press release could not be directly retrieved, as the attached document is distributed via a form-based download; the title, publication date, and responsible department were established from the official page itself. The exact scope of affected systems and further technical details therefore remain unconfirmed pending direct review of the original advisory.

The claim that the government is pursuing a response through security patches and related measures is consistent with the original report, without exaggeration or distortion — making it Mostly True.

Verdict: Mostly True
