ISP Orange accidentally DDoSed French government site
Google.fr, Wikipedia.fr, OVH and other domains were accidentally added to the list of banned sites qualified by the Ministry of Interior as promoting Terrorism.
The result is that anyone visiting sites on these domains were redirected to a page from interior.gouv.fr
The banned websites were accused of providing instructions for carrying out terror attacks or celebrating acts of terrorism.
(which isn’t entirely false actually)
