I just can’t even start to understand the motivation behind these attacks.
absolutely sucks that this is happened but if anything, it just makes me more grateful for what you're doing
Glad to hear the data is safe and you're working on strengthening your security and getting it back up and running. Yall do great work and didn't deserve this. :(
what can interested parties do to help? I'm assuming any usual volunteer work is still helpful.
I have got to think (or at least hope) that libraries aren't the focus of the attack, but if one government service is vulnerable others may be. Good luck getting back and good work
Stray strong you guys! I hope your servers are backed up in case things get even more nasty.
Thank you so much, and I wish you good luck! Hopefully GifCities will start working again soon. May those monsters who keep destroying libraries get their butts kicked by karma.
Thanks so much for your hard work; I am so sorry this happened ;;
o7 good luck.
Internet Archive is an essential part of preserving media and internet history.
Love you guys doing your best keeping the Internet History Book intact!
this is great news! still can’t imagine why someone would want to take y’all down
I was wondering what happened. Imagine DDosing internet archive...
This is horrible.
The only historical event comparable to something like this would be the burning of the Library of Alexandria...
oh thats weird asl, i didnt know seattle's library got hacked too. dumbass skid behavior
Does it time out with this attack? This definitely feels deliberate.
The hell? Where's the prestige in targeting public resources? This sucks, I seriously hope it's not a trend as well.
especially when theyre already attacked enough by public officials
over here in NY, eric adams stripping away full library hours along with slashing their budget is such a blow to everyone... especially minority communites.
to then be attacked by private groups is so... 😫😫
What are the chances those private groups got hired by public officials in question?
I mean, it adds up - IA just lost the court case on storing copyrighted material and is currently struggling financially; I think it's healthy to assume that profit-hungry corpos who'd like IA gone would want to double down. Kicking someone when they're down is a dishonourable but effective tactic.
Attacking an archive organization is pathetic. Hope y'all manage to get everything up soon.
wish we could get at peeps responsible lmao
pretty sure theyd get wrecked if found out
Thanks for all the hard work, hopefully things clear up soon and the future is free of incident.
When can we expect to save pages to the WayBack Machine?
