The KNVB took its websites offline on Wednesday as a precaution after warnings about vulnerabilities in PHP, the software used to build websites. The outage affected Voetbal.nl and OnsOranje.nl, as well as sites belonging to several Dutch football clubs.
The Dutch football association said its websites were temporarily unavailable and that it was working to restore access. NOS and Hart van Nederland also reported the shutdown; neither report said the sites had been hacked.
The move was part of a wider precautionary response to the PHP vulnerabilities. The Dutch National Cyber Security Centre urged organisations to install a security update as soon as possible, while other websites and online services were also taken offline.
