During a routine DNSSEC key rollover on 5 May 2026, some non-validatable signatures were generated and distributed. As a result, validating resolvers were temporarily unable to successfully verify their DNS responses for .de domains. This led to noticeable restrictions in the accessibility of .de domains for approximately three hours.

Invalid DNSSEC signatures affected accessibility – normal service has been restored.

DENIC eG is currently experiencing a disruption in its DNS service for .de domains. As a result, all DNSSEC-signed .de domains are currently affected in their reachability.
