Ugh. And here I was hoping they’d bring back the rest of their systems online soon, but it seems like their security is in shambles and we may be looking at a few months until IA is fully back online.
Somebody is really working OT on hurting IA.
some haters be paying to bring it down

It’s too bad that furry hacker group disbanded because I’d LOVE to see a group like them dox the people behind screwing over The Internet Archive.
Relying on IA as the sole internet library was bound to create problems.
There need to be other entities doing this work independently of one another. Like municipal libraries.
I agree, losing it would feel like losing the library of Alexandria. We do need more doing this!
Whoever targeting IA is obviously despicable. But sounds like infosec at IA is an absolute shit show…
Infosec is an absolute shitshow everywhere to be honest.
I’d not be surprised if these attacks were linked to the recent lawsuits IA had to go through concerning copyright and such…
I would.
Companies generally don’t fuck with the law on that level.
