Each quote is in the snapshot as served. The English is the source watch reader's translation (translations/de/news/rtl/leben-digitales-php-luecke-bsi-warnt-vor-cyber-gefahr-firmen.json), not the publisher's and not checked word for word by the curator.

agency: The BSI said it had so far found no cases in which the vulnerabilities were exploited, though successful attacks cannot be ruled out.

> Das Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) habe bislang keine Fälle festgestellt, in denen die Sicherheitslücken ausgenutzt wurde, erklärte die IT-Sicherheitsbehörde. „Dennoch können erfolgreiche Angriffe derzeit nicht ausgeschlossen werden.“

_Watch reader's translation:_ The BSI had so far not found any cases in which the vulnerabilities were exploited, the IT security authority said. 'Nevertheless, successful attacks cannot currently be ruled out.'

agency: The BSI said the absence of reported compromises suggests many operators have already patched successfully.

> Dass bislang keine kompromittierten Systeme gemeldet worden seien, „lässt aktuell den Schluss zu, dass viele Betreiber gemäß den Empfehlungen bereits erfolgreich gepatcht haben“, erklärte das BSI.

_Watch reader's translation:_ That no compromised systems have been reported so far 'currently allows the conclusion that many operators have already successfully patched in accordance with the recommendations', the BSI said.

official: The Federal Interior Ministry said federal administration websites taken offline preventively are mostly available again.

> „Websites der Bundesverwaltung, die präventiv vom Netz genommen wurden, sind größtenteils wieder verfügbar“, erklärte am Donnerstag das Bundesinnenministerium.

_Watch reader's translation:_ 'Websites of the federal administration that were taken offline preventively are mostly available again,' the Federal Interior Ministry said on Thursday.

official: Digital Minister Karsten Wildberger said shutting down websites was the right decision and there are no signs of successful compromise of federal systems.

> „Nach unserem bisherigen Erkenntnisstand gibt es aktuell keine Hinweise auf eine erfolgreiche Kompromittierung von Systemen der Bundesverwaltung.“

_Watch reader's translation:_ 'According to our current knowledge, there are currently no indications of a successful compromise of federal administration systems.'

official: Green interior politician Konstantin von Notz sharply criticised the federal government's IT security policy.

> „Dringend notwendig ist, auf diese stark gestiegene Bedrohungen mit echten politischen Handlungen zu antworten, die die IT-Sicherheit schnellstmöglich signifikant erhöhen“, sagte von Notz der „Rheinischen Post“.

_Watch reader's translation:_ 'It is urgently necessary to respond to these sharply increased threats with real political action that significantly increases IT security as quickly as possible,' von Notz told the Rheinische Post.

agency: A BSI spokeswoman advised end users not to make home routers remotely accessible and to be careful with downloads because manipulated websites may be circulating.

> Endnutzern rät die IT-Sicherheitsbehörde insbesondere, ihre Internetrouter nicht so zu konfigurieren, dass sie auch von unterwegs darauf zugreifen können.

_Watch reader's translation:_ The IT security authority advises end users in particular not to configure their internet routers so that they can be accessed remotely.
