The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine was hit by hackers recently with DDoS attacks, a data breach, and vandalism on its website. Over 31 million accounts were compromised and the Wayback Machine has been temporarily taken offline.
Fecking assholes… probably hired by publishers and news outlets…
Has nothing to do with the upcoming US election
@TehBamski While it’s hackers doing the job, someone clearly paid them, so the title should he “Governments/Agencies are destroying the internet’s history book right now”
@threeganzi We can only speculate for now.
The timezone of the attack suggests it has been started by russians, while in the video the Arabic subs go from left to right, instead of from right to left.
The “pro-palestinian” thing looks like a way to misguide towards the real intentions.
Removing parts of internet that are dangerous for oligarchs/dictators sounds about right, especially if you need to remove specific news.
The timing is also suspicious, US elections and Putin losing credibility.
Sounds like some kind of decentralized peer system might be a solution…I don’t want to say blockchain but it might have a useful use case here
I love when he threatens the “hackers” at the end haha
