All apps should now be resolving DNS correctly. We've completed the migration of all DNS configurations to a new AWS account using Route53.
If you still encounter any issues, please let us know. Contact us via WhatsApp to avoid delays related to email DNS resolution problems.
Here's a summary of what happened with our AWS account, based on what we know so far:
---
**Thu May 8, 2025**
12:29:59 GMT-0400 (Amazon Standard Time)
AWS contacted us requesting we complete these steps:
1. Change our AWS root account password
2. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on the AWS root user for additional account protection
3. Check AWS CloudTrail logs for suspicious activity
4. Review for any unauthorized AWS usage
5. Respond to the existing support case or create a new one confirming completion of steps 1-4
Completing these steps would restore account access, prevent suspension, and allow us to apply for a billing adjustment if applicable. Any billing adjustment for unexpected charges would be considered after securing the account.

We replied addressing all four required topics:
1. Root Account Password Change
2. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Review
3. CloudTrail Log Review
4. Usage Review
We wrote a methodical response since one of our clients previously had their account suspended and we had to rescue them from a difficult situation.

After receiving no response from AWS, we contacted them to confirm everything was okay.

They suspended our account and we asked why.

They replied: "This case has been resolved. Please contact us again if you need further assistance."
However, the issue was not resolved—our account remained suspended.

We haven't heard anything further from AWS. We've tried reaching multiple contacts within AWS, but they seem to have limited ability to help with the actions we need.
We still don't know if we'll recover our account.
In the coming days, we'll monitor the situation and likely decide to migrate our Route53 integrations elsewhere.
We sincerely apologize for the DNS resolution outage. We'll work hard to prevent this single point of failure with DNS in the future. While we use multiple providers for various services, we didn't expect AWS to fail us on this critical service.

Update -
We have thousands of domains, all managed through our Route 53 AWS account.
We've recreated all records in our database for a new account.
Most, if not all, apps should be working again. If you encounter any issues, please contact us via WhatsApp at +55 67 992449937, as our emails may be affected by a DNS issue.
May 13, 22:26 UTC
Update -
Some DNSs are already recreated.
We are proceeding with recreating all of them.
May 13, 21:18 UTC
Identified -
We are recreating our DNS records in another AWS account.
We will keep updating here.
May 13, 20:55 UTC
Investigating -
AWS blocked our account, and our domains are managed by Route 53.
We are working on a fix ASAP.
