Some Government of Canada websites are taken down temporarily as a precaution following a security risk, Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon says. Outlets report Solomon frames the move as protective rather than permanent.
Coverage also describes the measure as a response to a vulnerability identified in the software. City News Toronto adds that Solomon says the affected websites are brought offline temporarily to safeguard government systems and Canadians’ information, and that the action follows guidance related to the issue. Across sources, the emphasis remains on immediacy and containment, with no outlet reporting any details about the specific sites, extent of disruption, or confirmed impact. The reports portray the steps as interim security action pending further developments and remediation.
