Dear CZDS Users, The previously approved CZDS access requests for the .TOP zone file that were revoked as a result of this incident have been restored, and access was reinstated last Friday 09 January 2026. Please note that any new access requests for the .TOP zone file submitted between Wednesday 07 January and Friday 09 January 2026 remain unchanged and will follow the usual review process by the registry operator. Thank you for your patience.

In the meantime, CZDS users may also submit a new request for access to the .TOP zone file through the CZDS system, for the registry operator to review. Thank you for your patience.

Just got an e-mail that ZFA for .TOP had been revoked as the gTLD had been made inactive.
"Request revoked as TLD has been made inactive."
Checked another stats site and it was showing 0 domain names in the zone which may indicate that it didn't get today's zone.
Has .TOP gTTLD been made inactive or is this a problem on the CZDS or with the .TOP registry?

The gTLD is still active in the DNS but it seems that the message in the CZDS is that the TLD has been made inactive. Not sure if it is a problem with the CZDS. The request was on automatic renewal and that tick appears beside it.There were 2,743 ZFA-passwords for the gTLD in the January 2026 ZFA report on the CZDS.
