resolved Feb 27, 2024, 10:13 PM UTC

At 14:16 CST, DNS Records that had been published to Cloudflare for several months were mysteriously removed, as indicated by the logs provided by Cloudflare. At 14:17:22 CST, Voxtelesys monitoring systems detected Origin Errors being reported by Cloudflare across various API endpoints and portal.voxtelesys.net. At 14:33 CST, Voxtelesys engineering pushed a mass DNS record change to the voxtelesys.net domain. By 14:36 CST, the DNS change had propagated to mainstream public DNS resolvers. This entire event lasted 20 minutes. We have engaged Cloudflare's Enterprise Support and are awaiting a much-needed explanation to the logs provided to us. We apologize for the inconvenience and will continue to monitor closely for any further issues.
