[Investigating] An issue has been identified with the Botnet Controller List, which started at approximately 9:10 UTC, 23 Mar 2025. Our engineers are investigating to resolve this as promptly as possible. Please monitor this page for further updates - we apologize for this inconvenience.

[Resolved] The issue with the Botnet Controller List has been resolved; the dataset is now updating as expected. The problem was caused by unexpected behavior (excessive tagging), resulting in one of the dataset's components failing under load. We've restored normal functionality while we work on a long-term fix. Thank you for your patience as our engineers worked to resolve this. For any questions, please contact your Account Manager.
