Technical fault knocks DigiD, government sites offline

Government sites DigiD and MijnOverheid.nl are currently unavailable due to a technical fault. The sites went offline just before noon, NU.nl reports.

If you try logging into DigiD you are met with a message saying that DigiD is currently unavailable due to a fault. The same message can be seen on DigiD's Twitter feed. Logging into MijnOverheid.nl is also impossible, and there are problems with logging into the sites of the Tax Authorities, DUO and benefits agency UWV.

Complaint site Allestoringen.nl received hundreds of complaints, according to NOS. 

What exactly is causing the problem is unclear. DigiD only states that their technicians are working on it. The Ministry of Home Affairs is investigating what went wrong. A spokesperson for Logius told NOS that it seems to be a network fault. Logius is Home Affairs' IT company.
