What the page says

_Curator's reading of the capture._

Bitpage.de (German): a situation report from the evening of Wednesday 21 October, updated on Thursday and Friday morning, on why half of Europe switched its websites off. It names the City of Mainz website going down at midday, then the Charité, then the host Mittwald saying all its customers' sites were offline, then Dutch sites, and goes on to explain what PHP2Shell is, who is offline, who has patched and what to do. A long page (about 58,000 characters); only the opening was read in full.

> Es fing am Mittag damit an, dass die Webseite der Stadt Mainz nicht mehr aufging, kurz darauf war die Charité weg

_Curator's translation:_ "It started at midday with the City of Mainz's website no longer opening; shortly after, the Charité was gone"
