RTL Z was due to air an extra news bulletin at 14:00 on Wednesday, 21 October, as websites were taken offline over security vulnerabilities in PHP, according to a report by Nieuws.nl citing an RTL spokesperson.

The Dutch government said multiple websites, including government services such as DigiD and MijnOverheid, had been taken offline as a precaution after two vulnerabilities were reported. It said there were no indications at that time that they were being actively exploited. A security update later became available, NOS reported.

Nieuws.nl also said NOS had no plans “for the time being” to schedule extra broadcasts. The report did not say whether RTL went on to air the bulletin.
