🟩 UPDATE : notre site est à nouveau accessible / onze website is opnieuw toegankelijk / our website is back online

Comme de nombreuses entreprises et institutions, nous avons décidé de mettre temporairement tous nos sites web hors ligne. (NL / EN ⤵️)

Il s’agit d’une mesure de précaution prise après le signalement de cyberattaques exploitant une faille liée au langage de programmation PHP.

A ce stade, le Centre pour la cybersécurité Belgique (CCB) n’a recensé aucune attaque contre des sites belges.

Nous vous tiendrons évidemment informés de l’évolution de la situation dès que possible.

Merci de votre compréhension.

Zoals veel bedrijven en instellingen hebben wij beslist om al onze websites tijdelijk offline te halen.

Het gaat om een voorzorgsmaatregel na meldingen van cyberaanvallen die misbruik maken van een kwetsbaarheid die verband houdt met de programmeertaal PHP.

Op dit moment heeft het Centrum voor Cybersecurity België (CCB) geen aanvallen op Belgische websites vastgesteld.

Wij houden u uiteraard zo snel mogelijk op de hoogte van de verdere ontwikkelingen.

Bedankt voor uw begrip.

🔬 Professor Francis Halzen has been awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics.

He is the 12th Belgian Nobel laureate, and the second in physics after François Englert in 2013.

Originally from Tienen, he is rewarded for his work on neutrinos, those elusive particles that pass through matter with almost no interaction.
IceCube, the observatory he conceived beneath the Antarctic ice, made these particles 'visible'. It was the first to detect high-energy neutrinos coming from beyond our galaxy.

Belgium was among the 12 original signatories of the 1959 Antarctic Treaty, which reserves the continent for peaceful purposes and scientific research. IceCube is one of the many projects this framework makes possible.

Professor Francis Halze will receive his prize in Stockholm on 10 December.
