Amazon says vulnerabilities in a widely used programming language, discovered with AI tools, are now being broadly exploited in the wild. The company identified a hacking attempt four days before the flaws were publicly disclosed. The flaws have prompted governments and companies to rush to secure systems. The language reportedly underpins much of the internet.
