More and more websites, including DigiD and MijnOverheid.nl, taken offline due to leaks in the PHP programming language.

On Wednesday, numerous websites were taken offline due to critical vulnerabilities in PHP, affecting major sites like the Dutch Parliament and various government services. The EU's cyber security agency, CERT-EU, warned about the potential risks, as PHP powers around 70% of websites globally. An update is expected to address these vulnerabilities, and organizations are advised to prepare for immediate implementation. Some sites, including Notubiz, which shares official information for municipalities, have been disabled as a precaution. Cybersecurity experts anticipate increased hacking attempts targeting these vulnerabilities.
