Update timeline

  1. identified Jul 03, 2026, 04:48 PM UTC

    We are observing issues with authoritative resolution for the .al TLD because of DNSSEC issues at the TLD.

  2. identified Jul 03, 2026, 05:02 PM UTC

    Cloudflare is temporarily disabling DNSSEC validation for .AL domains on 1.1.1.1 resolver (as per RFC 7646) in order to allow .AL names to continue to resolve. DNSSEC validation will be re-enabled when the signing problems are known to have been resolved. See RFC 7646 for more details: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7646
