Orange temporarily suspends access to certain websites and applications using PHP

Following the publication on 21 October of several security vulnerabilities affecting PHP, a programming language used by many websites and applications around the world, Orange (ORA) has decided to temporarily suspend access to certain services. This decision has enabled the Group to deploy the necessary security patches and carry out the related checks before progressively restoring the affected websites and applications.

This precautionary measure concerns a number of websites, services and applications across several Orange Group subsidiaries and entities. Orange subsidiaries in each country are taking the necessary measures and will communicate locally.

Orange's technical and cybersecurity teams have been mobilized since 21 October and have already deployed security patches across a large number of the affected websites. Work is ongoing to restore the services affected as quickly and securely as possible.

Orange apologises to impacted customers and users for any inconvenience caused. The security of our services and the protection of our customers are our priority.
