The Dutch National Cyber Security Center has taken its public website (ncsc.nl) offline after discovering vulnerabilities in PHP. A patch from the PHP security team is scheduled for 16:00 Dutch time, and the center plans to publish an advisory on advisories.ncsc.nl within an hour of that patch. Technical details and ongoing updates are being posted on a dedicated GitHub page, and the center is actively compiling an inventory of PHP-related software products to identify which are affected.

Meanwhile the center directs organizations and the public to alternative channels for updates and support: the NCSC Community, LinkedIn, and MijnNCSC for CSIRT clients. For urgent incidents there is a 24/7 contact email ([email protected]) and a daytime telephone line ((070) 751 55 55); additional out-of-hours emergency numbers and press contacts (Roger Kaemingk and Georgine Aerts, reachable by mobile and [email protected]) are provided. The center apologizes for the disruption and emphasizes its work to restore services and keep the Dutch digital infrastructure resilient.
