    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.

      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
