The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) said a “hardware failure” is causing the difficulty to access government websites.
“The Government Web Hosting Service (GWHS) is experiencing hardware failure on one of its storage systems that is affecting its overall function. As a result, several government websites are currently down and inaccessible,” DICT said in a statement on Tuesday.
It noted that it is “already working on the issue.”
DICT also allayed worries that the government sites were hacked, and the agency is already conducting a hardware maintenance to address the problem.
On Tuesday, several government websites were reported to fail loading. Instead of landing the home page, a message saying “Websites sometimes break. Please wait while we put it back together” is flashed on the screen.
