The php.net website, the official home of the open-source PHP programming language, has been hacked and used to spread malware to visitors.
The site says it will publish a full post mortem on the security incident in the near future, probably next week, and that users should follow @official_php on Twitter for updates.

Even if you run a tiny website and don't have much to hide, you (and your customers) are nevertheless at risk from criminals.
Web site users, be vigilant. If you think a site is not treating your PII with the respect it deserves, even for so-called casual or throwaway logins, then consider working, shopping or playing somewhere else.
Web site operators, don't be happy with the security standards of ten, five or even two years ago. Show that you care about PII and help to build and maintain the trust of your customers.
