: DENIC DNSSEC disruption disrupts all .de domains
During a planned live maintenance window, DENIC's DNS Nameservice experienced a disruption that left all .de domains unreachable for a period. The issue escalated from a maintenance impact to a full outage, with DNS resolution failing due to DNSSEC validation problems. Engineers indicated the root cause was under investigation as the impact spread, affecting the accessibility of German domains and other sites relying on .de. The outage persisted as the DNS service moved from warning to outage before gradually recovering.
