Internet Archive Services Update: 2024-10-17 (blog.archive.org)

The stored data of the Internet Archive is safe and we are working on resuming services safely. This new reality requires heightened attention to cyber security and we are responding. We apologize for the impact of these library services being unavailable.

The Wayback Machine, Archive-It, scanning, and national library crawls have resumed, as well as email, blog, helpdesk, and social media communications. Our team is working around the clock across time zones to bring other services back online. In coming days more services will resume, some starting in read-only mode as full restoration will take more time.

We’re taking a cautious, deliberate approach to rebuild and strengthen our defenses. Our priority is ensuring the Internet Archive comes online stronger and more secure.

As a library community, we are seeing other cyber attacks—for instance the British Library, Seattle Public Library, Toronto Public Library, and now Calgary Public Library. We hope these attacks are not indicative of a trend.

Ummm....that's the definition of a trend.

I think they mean in the sense that this is something coordinated against libraries in general.

It absolutely is. This is a continuation of conservatisms culture war on truth and intellectualism.

There’s conservative hacker groups out there? I always thought someone who was smart enough to be a hacker would also be smart enough to see through their bullshit beliefs. But I also know some people who are very smart in one thing and absolute morons when it comes to everything else so idk.

Or maybe anarchist hacker groups paid by conservatives?

Or just Russians or Chinese or Iranian hackers working to bring down Western systems.
