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.
was that their stated reason for attacking the internet archive?
to bring awareness to the security breaches?
little fucks.
"I stole your wallet because pockets are so vulnerable. I'm helping."
nobody know true reason
one group claim responsibility on twitter for ddos, reason they are us company and us support genocide in gaza. but from all us company they chose ia? sound like bullshit.
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.
No, it was somehow because they hate NATO
oh good, that totally makes senseWHAT?!
You see, some NATO members have been known to use the internet. Artifacts of that usage may have been archived, like their statements and voting choices. For example, if IA stored a page where Jens Stoltenberg called a polandball comic "funny and accurate" in 2019. That would be bad for Gaza.
