Cogent's statement on c.root-servers.org:
"2024‑05‑23 - On May 21 at 15:30 UTC the c-root team at Cogent Communications was informed that the root zone as served by c-root had ceased to track changes from the root zone publication server after May 18. Analysis showed this to have been caused by an unrelated routing policy change whose side effect was to silence the relevant monitoring systems. No production DNS queries went unanswered by c-root as a result of this outage, and the only impact was on root zone freshness. Root zone freshness as served by c-root was fully restored on May 22 at 16:00 UTC."
Edit to add:
This was mentioned on Tuesday on the dns-operations list:

- bewaretheirs 2y agoThe problem was evident if you ran dig @${server} . soa c.root-servers.net showed an older serial number than all the others yesterday. This seems like a major hole in their monitoring systems.
