Starting at 10:45 AM EST on Friday, 26 February, ARIN was a victim of a massive DNS amplification DDoS attack. This was and continues to be a sustained attack against our provisioning services, email, and website. We initiated our DDoS mitigation plan and as of 12:00 PM EST, the attack traffic effects have been mitigated and normal operations have resumed. All our other public-facing services (Whois, Whois-RWS, RDAP, DNS, IRR, and RPKI repository services) were not affected by this attack and are operating normally.
