They run Fastly, which does run at least a third of all website server spaces.
But we aren't seeing the widespread outages like we did with other AWS outages recently.

Something else in their network got tanked.
That being said, whatever that something is should absolutely not be involved with the IRS. The IRS contains the absolute most sensitive information for all United States Citizens. You would expect they'd have to be stored/accessed on completely proprietary networks, but they aren't.
It could easily be routing services, DNS services, etc. Plenty of other infrastructure that runs the internet that could cause multiple unconnected sites or services to be offline at the same time.
