    On Tuesday, March 31, 2026, from approximately 15:00 (UTC) to 16:10 (UTC), some users experienced issues with the Defend Abuse Mailbox service.

    This incident was caused by a service update that started sending duplicate phishing submission notifications to users. To resolve this issue, we corrected the service update code that caused the duplicate notifications, and the Defend Abuse Mailbox service returned to normal performance by 16:10 (UTC).

    To prevent this type of issue in the future, we are reviewing and improving our service upgrade workflow.
