Dutch National Cyber Security Center is Offline because it uses PHP

The Dutch National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) is currently offline due to vulnerabilities in the PHP language. The center has taken the website (NCSC.NL) offline as a precautionary measure. They are working diligently to find a solution and make the website available as soon as possible. For the most up-to-date information regarding these vulnerabilities, users are advised to visit the NCSC Community page.

PHP's security team has announced a patch that is scheduled to be released at 16:00 Dutch time. An advisory is expected to be published one hour after the patch becomes available on advisories.ncsc.nl. Additionally, NCSC has set up a dedicated page on GitHub for technical details about the vulnerabilities, which will be continuously updated by the NCSC team.

Work is underway to create an inventory of all PHP-related software products to determine which products are vulnerable. In the meantime, users can find news, updates, or ask questions on NCSC's LinkedIn page and NCSC Community. Organizations utilizing NCSC's CSIRT services can turn to MijnNCSC for assistance. The NCSC apologizes for the inconvenience and appreciates understanding.
