This person could be damaging corporate infrastructure but he goes after internet archive
This guy is outing the archive for terrible security posture by bringing attention to it because they received disclosures and did not fix them.
Don't get shit twisted - he's the hero here. IA fucked up and has been vulnerable to manipulation by any number of corporate or national actors this entire time.
If this was genuinely done out of love I could understand but due to the legal battles the internet archive is currently being dragged through, I harbor suspicion of their intent.
