People attacked Internet Archive Wednesday, a nonprofit digitizing storing things like a web page
Many people, including those at The Verge, saw a pop-up that said, “Have you ever felt like the Internet Archive runs on sticks and is always on the verge of suffering a catastrophic security breach?” It happened right now. I hope to see 31 million of you on HIBP!”
Later, the data breach notification site Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) confirmed the hack, saying that 31 unique email addresses and user names were stolen. Brewster Kahle, a digital librarian who started the Internet Archive in 1996, was also a victim.
A hacktivist group claimed credit for one attack but not the other, which may or may not have been a related distributed denial-of-service attack on the service. On Wednesday night, Kahle said there might be more to come. He wrote on X that the company had “fended off” the DDOS attack, cleaned up its systems, and improved its security. “Will share more as we learn it.”
