Starting at 3:55 PM EDT on Friday, 25 March, a DDoS attack began against 
ARIN. This was and continues to be a sustained attack against our 
provisioning services, email, and website. We initiated our DDoS 
mitigation plan and are in the process of mitigating various types of 
attack traffic patterns. All our other public-facing services (Whois, 
Whois-RWS, RDAP, DNS, IRR, and RPKI repository services) are not 
affected by this attack and are operating normally.

We will announce an all clear 24 hours after the attacks have stopped.

Regards,

Mark Kosters
Chief Technology Officer
American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)
