Wow, this is incredibly bad. An attack on the Internet Archive is an attack on democracy itself. For those who don’t know, the Internet Archive preserves a historical record of *every website on the internet*, since nearly the beginning of the World Wide Web. 😢
Latest update on the DDOS attack from Brewster Kahle (Oct 11 @ 10:22am PT):
"The data is safe.
Services are offline as we examine and strengthen them. Sorry, but needed. @internetarchive staff is working hard.
Estimated Timeline: days, not weeks.
Thank you for the offers of pizza (we are set)."
