While WAS and VUCC applications are being processed, and certificates and endorsement stickers are being mailed, "work is continuing to return the DXCC systems to service", the ARRL announced on 22 August. "DXCC award processing, including the Online DXCC application system, is unavailable at this time. While all DXCC user data is secure and unaffected, we have taken the precautionary measure of keeping the service offline until we can ensure the security and integrity of our networks".

"The ARRL DXCC System has been returned to service", the ARRL announced on 23 October, "and our staff is again processing applications for credit toward DXCC awards. The queue includes nearly 3,000 award applications submitted via Logbook of The World (LoTW) accounts and mailed paper applications. We are processing the backlog as quickly as possible, and will provide additional progress updates.
For now, the online DXCC application will remain offline. Any new award applications we receive will experience significant delays as we work through the backlog.
As previously reported, LoTW was returned to service on Monday, July 1, 2024. Since then, the system has been processing log uploads with little or no processing delay.
We are grateful for your continued patience and understanding as we continue to make progress on the few remaining services that have required additional attention to bring back online".
