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.
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 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 Artifacts of that usage may have been archived, like their statements and voting choices.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.
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

Yeah look at me flexing on and underfunded non profit.
Not at all hackers are criminals, but many are idiots.
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

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?!

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.
Black hat v grey hat innit

That just smells like an actual false flag operation to me.
Their emotional maturity is close to zero.
They go after internet archive, such a lame move.
those hackers are probably paid by the corporations wanting to bring it down
As much as I probably ideologically stand with you, let’s not confirmation bias ourselves into a belief we have no evidence for.
