Cloudflare warns of upcoming DNS root KSK rollover
On October 11, 2026, the DNS root is scheduled to replace its key-signing key (KSK) for only the second time, affecting DNSSEC trust anchors used by validating resolvers. Most site operators do not need to act, but resolver operators should verify that the new KSK-2024 is trusted before the rollover to avoid potential reachability issues.
