Many websites have been suspended in France, notably affecting those of taxes and prefectures, as part of a global IT shutdown of exceptional scale.

This is not the Orange outage, which has been resolved, but a precautionary outage put in place to avoid hacks and address a critical security vulnerability.

However, certain sites have already been restored, such as that of Météo France, which is important for vigilance.
