The Internet Archive, home to the Wayback Machine, has suffered a significant security breach and ongoing Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, compromising the data of 31 million accounts. The breach involved the theft of an authentication database, which included email addresses, screen names, and bcrypt-hashed passwords, confirmed by Troy Hunt of Have I Been Pwned (HIBP). The DDoS attacks, claimed by a hacktivist group SN_Blackmeta linked to pro-Palestinian movements, have taken the site offline multiple times. Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive, has been updating on efforts to mitigate the attacks and enhance security. Despite the breach and attacks, the timing of these incidents raises questions about potential connections, though they are officially considered unrelated. The Internet Archive, a nonprofit, has also been facing legal challenges, including a recent loss in a copyright infringement case.
