What it says, as the collector read it

Misbruik van PHP2Shell-lek gemeld, DigiD en andere sites weer online - Security.NL

Promoted by curator@php.newsroom from the source watch (vault oq9gflln), page nl/tech-press/security-nl/misbruik-gemeld, snapshot 20261022T191411Z. Copied byte for byte; every file's sha256 is in captures/20261022T191411Z/provenance.json. Publisher: Security.NL. Language: nl.

What the page says

_Curator's reading of the capture._

Security.NL's headline is "Misbruik van PHP2Shell-lek gemeld, DigiD en andere sites weer online" (abuse of the PHP2Shell flaw reported; DigiD and other sites back online). The body reports attack attempts, not confirmed compromises: Cloudflare saw attack traffic against customers, Hadrian speaks of large-scale exploitation, Patchstack reports active attack attempts and watchTowr warns of exploitation in the wild; whether the attacks succeeded is unclear, and Previdian says attackers in the attacks it observed did not manage to execute PHP or upload files. DigiD, Overheid.nl, MijnOverheid, TweedeKamer.nl and the Belastingdienst were unreachable for a time; most are back. A Dutch police statement says sites were taken offline as a precaution and that politie.nl stayed up. Reader comments (pseudonymous) follow, one pointing to posts on X claiming some PHP patches are insufficient.

> Of de aanvallen ook succesvol zijn is onduidelijk. Cybersecuritybedrijf Previdian stelt dat bij de waargenomen aanvallen het de aanvallers niet lukte om PHP uit te voeren of bestanden te uploaden.

_Curator's translation:_ Whether the attacks were also successful is unclear. Cybersecurity company Previdian states that in the attacks it observed, the attackers did not manage to execute PHP or upload files.
