## Timeline of updates

- **monitoring** 2023-12-27 20:11 UTC: New user registration on PyPI is temporarily suspended. The volume of malicious users and malicious projects being created on the index in the past week has outpaced our ability to respond to it in a timely fashion, especially with multiple PyPI administrators on leave.
- **resolved** 2024-01-02 15:59 UTC: New user registrations are now permitted.
