@internetarchive @brewsterkahle The archive.org page links to twitter, but you can't really see what's going on without an account. All tweets are out of order.

Good luck with the updates!

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle Thanks for maintaining such an important project from those that just cause trouble.

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle So sorry you all are living through this. Thank you all for what you do.

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle :')

Hope you can resolve it the best way

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle Keep the good work :robot_display_heart:

Another update (screenshoted from the site formerly known as Twitter)

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle What absolute shitheads who did this. Will donate after the ordeal.

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle Are there any mirrors of this site elsewhere?

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle This sucks honestly. I use the IA often and honestly I'm disappointed in those who took it down and uploaded 31 million user records.

In the meantime, I've made an app that pings the Archive subdomains every 30 minutes for their page status so I'll know when it's back online.

I hope it's okay with the IA team. It's on my GitHub, and if it's causing trouble with the recovery, just let me know, and I'll gladly take it down. :D

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle Well this is annoying! Hopefully, the archive's data is intact but the data breach on top of the DDOS and the defacement is bad news. While it could be just jerks having 'fun' it's more likely that a government (e.g. that of Russia or Israel) has attacked the site to remove public access to troubling videos and photos of war crimes.

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle it happened. Oh my god.

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle good luck weathering the storm. :(

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle seriously this sucks. What kind of person DDoS the internet archive :(

Of all things to hack, why a website that preserves the past?

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle Thank you for your work, guys. Internet wouldn’t be possible without people like you. Keep it up. We will keep on donating 💖 📚

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle
Man, this is just low. Like attacking a library low. Who tf does shit like this?

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle

I hope the cybercriminals responsible for this face accountability by the justice system.

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle if you're encrypting passwords instead of hashing them, then you're doing it seriously wrong :neofox_snug_owo:
