Ce n'est pas ton Wi-Fi qui fait défaut. 👀
Si tu as essayé de payer ta facture d'Hydro-Québec, de planifier un trajet sur le site de la STM ou de commander une bouteille sur le site de la SAQ ce mercredi 21 octobre, tu as probablement vu apparaître une page d’erreur. Ce n'est pas un hasard : plusieurs organisations québécoises et canadiennes ont fermé leur site par précaution à cause d'une faille de sécurité mondiale.

En cause : PHP, un outil informatique invisible pour toi, mais qui fait fonctionner une bonne partie des sites que tu visites chaque jour. La PHP Foundation, qui gère son développement, a publié un correctif mercredi à 10 h (heure du Québec) et presse tous ceux et celles qui l'utilisent de faire la mise à jour sans attendre, selon son communiqué.
Concrètement, les deux vulnérabilités critiques découvertes dans PHP pourraient permettre à un pirate d’exécuter ses propres commandes sur un serveur à distance, sans même avoir besoin d’un mot de passe. La PHP Foundation leur a attribué une note de gravité de 9,2 sur 10.
Tant que chaque organisation n'a pas installé la mise à jour, son site risque de rester fermé.
Le gouvernement fédéral a d'ailleurs mis certains de ses sites hors ligne, suivant les directives du Centre canadien pour la cybersécurité. « Il s’agit d’un problème global, et d’autres gouvernements et organisations prennent eux aussi des mesures de protection », a écrit sur X Evan Solomon, ministre fédéral de l’Intelligence artificielle.

Au moment d’écrire ces lignes, ces sites étaient inaccessibles en tout ou en partie :
Pour quelques heures, tu ne pourras peut-être pas payer ta facture d’Hydro-Québec, planifier un trajet sur le site de la STM ou faire certaines démarches en ligne. Rien n’indique que tes données aient été piratées : les fermetures sont une mesure de précaution.
Aucune heure de retour n’avait été annoncée au moment d’écrire ces lignes. Le ministre Solomon assure que les sites touchés reviendront dès que les correctifs seront appliqués : « Nous prenons cette situation extrêmement au sérieux. Nous remercions les équipes de cybersécurité qui travaillent à protéger les services sur lesquels les Canadiens comptent. »
Si ta démarche est urgente, passe par le téléphone ou en personne.
Il est également conseillé de te méfier des courriels et des textos qui te demandent de cliquer sur un lien pour « mettre ton compte à jour ». Attends que le site officiel soit de retour.
Durham regional police say a two-year-old girl was critically injured when a car struck a group of young children and a daycare worker in Oshawa.
Acting Sgt. Nicholas Gluckstein says the daycare worker was on her daily walk with five children through a residential neighbourhood this morning when they were all struck by a car while crossing the street.
He says the two-year-old girl suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to a local hospital before being rushed by air ambulance to a Toronto-area trauma centre.
The officer says police are "hoping for the best" but the girl's injuries are "very serious."
The four other children who were hit, ranging in age from three years to just seven months, were hospitalized with minor injuries, Gluckstein said, while the adult daycare worker suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries.Â
Gluckstein says the driver of the car was heading south and making a left turn through an intersection controlled by two stop signs when they struck the six pedestrians.Â
"The person driving southbound, there are no stop signs for them to potentially stop and take a look around there. But five children and an adult female crossing the road is a pretty large sight to see," the officer told reporters at the scene, noting investigators are looking into what speed the car was travelling and whether distracted driving played a role in the crash.Â
Gluckstein said there's no indication the driver, who remained at the scene and is co-operating with police, was impaired.Â
He said the driver was hospitalized with minor injuries after the crash.Â
Gluckstein said investigators are exploring possible charges as they continue to speak with witnesses and look to pull surveillance camera footage from residents in the area.
He urged drivers to slow down, obey the rules of the road and be aware of their surroundings.

A new report says the demand at Quebec food banks is continuing to break records.
The 2026 Hunger Count report was published by Food Banks of Quebec.
It says the food banks are now fulfilling 3.27 million requests each month.
But close to 14 per cent of the network's 1,400 community organizations say they had to turn people away because of food shortages.
The report adds that 70 per cent of organizations say they faced a shortage in the last year.
The report says the situation has been deteriorating since the pandemic.
“Needs remain at a historically high level,” Food Banks of Quebec Executive Director Alexandre Lebel told The Canadian Press. “There are far too many people who still have to rely on food assistance.”
Among the households assisted in 2026, nearly a quarter derive most of their income from a job, shows the report.
“Having a job doesn’t necessarily protect you from food insecurity,” says Lebel.Â
Chantal Vézina, executive director of Moisson Montréal, says that inflation is making it harder for households to get out of difficult financial situations.
“Unfortunately, food is a discretionary expense, and people will do whatever it takes, of course, to avoid ending up on the street," she says.
Children account for around one-third of recipients in food banks, says Lebel.Â
