Screenshot of the error

Which ones are you referring to?

alipay.
allfinanz.
aaa.

Are they listed in the dashboard?

no. these records are completely foreign. I can’t stop new records from being created… I’ve managed to make changes that delete the records, but they come back within 12-24 hours.

These are just DNSSEC related entries and you will resolve them with cloudflare.com as well. No issues here.

there is an issue… they are redirects that are part of a botnet and I’m unable to detach from it., I’ve been battling this for over a year without knowing unauthorized dns records continue to be created.

What would ‘ALLFINANZ’ OR ‘ALIPAY’ have to with DNSSEC?

If records are being created on your account without your consent, then you should run through the steps for a compromised account:

As mentioned, there is no issue and there is no redirect. If you really do not want these DNSSEC entries, you can disable DNSSEC.

No redirect whatsoever, let alone a “botnet”, it does not even resolve

I have no idea what is going on in your screenshot but that is from root servers based on the listing which has nothing to do with Cloudflare.

This looks more like a doctored screenshot or a problem with your DNS provider.

Those aren’t records returned by Cloudflare.
