You’ve probably seen the news about the recently discovered PHP vulnerability. We understand this may raise questions about the security and availability of our services.
We can reassure you: Digidentity does not use PHP in its systems, so the vulnerability does not affect our services. All our services are available as normal, and you don’t need to take any further action.
Is Digidentity the same as DigiD?
No. DigiD is a Dutch government service. Digidentity is a separate company. The issues at DigiD do not affect your Digidentity account or our services.
