Internet Archive’s “The Wayback Machine” has suffered a data breach after a threat actor compromised the website and stole a user authentication database containing 31 million unique records.
Jesus. Well, that answers why Archive.org was down so long today.
I think an unaffiliated group also ran a DDoS attack on the site.
This is the equivalent of people beating up Mr. Rogers and stealing his wallet
Who the fuck wants to hack them? You want something and they have it, it’s yours! That’s the entire point!
Tinfoil hat mode engaged.
Maybe it was big entertainment. Disney doesn’t like that Archive.org’s collection of the original Transformers cartoon competes with such Disney+ hits as She-Hulk and The Jungle Book 2. So they’re doing shady things to make their problem at least faulter if not go away entirely.
Can we come up with the worst possible hacker nickname for this trash human.
“WBL hacker” world’s biggest loser or some shit
