  "account": "Numerous German websites are still affected by a global security vulnerability in the PHP programming language. Berlin's official portal, berlin.de, and some hospitals and universities in the region have experienced restrictions, although S-Bahn Berlin's website is now fully available again. Many websites in Rheinland-Pfalz, Saarland, and Thüringen have been restored, including those of the Thüringen state chancellery, police, and interior ministry. The North Rhine-Westphalia police have also brought some online services back online, but other prominent websites in the state remain inaccessible. The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has issued a cybersecurity warning, urging rapid installation of security updates to mitigate the threat.",
  "summary": "Due to a warning, many institutions in Germany have taken their websites offline. In some cases, the restrictions are still in place. Elsewhere, the situation is easing.",
