Hackers acting as if they’re doing a public service by bringing down a free publicly accessible tool is a new level of assbackwardness.

If the goal really was to force IA to increase their security, they would’ve tried to consult with them. This is more about notoriety and chaos and the hackers have no moral ground to stand on.

Yeah look at me flexing on and underfunded non profit.

Not at all hackers are criminals, but many are idiots.

You know what would be good place to archive and show the coming generations how corpos were deaf to the GAZA’s plight? Internet Fucking Archive

I just get the feel that they either are lazy for mentioning gaza or malicious to muddy the reputation of the protesters.

are the zendesk hackers the same as the ones who brought down the website initially?

No. And it’s hard to call the zendesk one a hack, even. They just used the same credentials that were leaked a couple weeks before.

iirc some group on twitter claiming that they were the ones behind the attack mentioned it had to do with Palestine or something like that? bruh the internet archive is a non profit organisation.

then when people pointed it out, they mentioned that since they were incorporated in the USA they were still guilty or something like that? dude wtf

Their emotional maturity is close to zero.

As much as I probably ideologically stand with you, let’s not confirmation bias ourselves into a belief we have no evidence for.
