Companies and public bodies in Fukuoka suspended websites or online functions on Oct. 22 after serious security flaws were found in PHP. The Nishitetsu group and Fukuoka Airport took websites offline from that morning. Nishi-Nippon City Bank and Fukuoka Chuo Bank also restricted parts of their websites as a precaution. Fukuoka Prefecture suspended some links and search functions, including those for tenders and recruitment information. The prefecture said services would be restored after safety checks.
