Dutch government websites return after brief outage

Several Dutch government websites, including those of the Public Prosecution Service and the Royal House, were back online around midday on Wednesday after a brief outage. The cause was not yet known, ANP reported.

The disruption also affected the central government website and a number of public bodies, including the Netherlands Institute for Social Research and the Education Council. Other government-related sites, among them the Tax Administration, the Immigration and Naturalisation Service and the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, continued to work.
