At least 12 million websites were exposed due to the patching flaw in the Drupal software.
Drupal stated that automated attacks had taken advantage of the bug, which allows attackers to take complete control of the websites.
The security team also said those who are yet to update the software should do so immediately. The team further said that by simply updating software one may not be able to remove any loopholes that attackers were able to insert once they were able to access the websites. They also warned that websites must investigate to see if the hackers had indeed stolen any data.
