This is real and the consequences can be devastating. I absolutely hope they have a backup somewhere as data can be deleted or worse, manipulated.
That’s sad. Could still find copies of our school web projects from the 90’s on there
Fucking assholes, going after some place like the Internet Archive. Like committing arson at a library, just for kicks.
So how does destroying the wayback machine help Palestine?
All this has taught me is that “activists” supposedly on the side of Palestine are a danger to the world.
I’m confused about where that amount of personal data came from in relation to the Wayback Machine- do they accept donations like Wikipedia?
Some people just want to watch the world burn
… this is why we can’t have nice things….
Sounds like the first steps for someone who wants to rewrite some history.
Fuck these fuckin pricks and whatever cause they support.

Don’t worry, it was obviously necessary to attack the global internet while most of the world is calling for a ceasefire on their behalf.
How does that makes sense? No one really knows or cares. It just does. It is resistance and it should be celebrated without limits.
Is this really what we want to normalize? How can people not see that this is an absolute intellectual and moral dead end street?
This bullshit.
Literally like bragging about burning down a library that sheltered puppies too.
They may as well have called the hack:
“How to get people to hate your cause”
Would be nice if the hackers targeted organizations actually involved in the conflict, not the internet archive, but what do I know? I guess any publicity is good publicity in their eyes.
This is the equivalent of attacking a hospital or a library. What the fuck is wrong with you. Just wait till the furry hackers wake up and rip them a new one.
Why did they attack the good guys?
So much of my personal history, things I grew up with, were only accessible via the Wayback Machine… if often only scraps. The things I love keep dying and often that was the only tool I had to even start to look for breadcrumbs or at least a tombstone. How much of the internet is just gone now?
They struck a blow against a national treasure.
I bet you ANYTHING,
Russia.
Of all the sites to go after… These people can fuck all the way off
This is so fucking evil. This isn’t some lone hacker or group of hackers. This is narrative control on a world scale.
This is 100% done by a government entity. I was on internet archive watching some shit you can’t find anywhere else when this happened. They are censoring content. This is a destruction of knowledge and public access to it.
When was the last time anyone did any White-hat hacking? This is awful, like burning the library at Alexandria
I just wonder how much did MPAA/RIAA pay to them?
Russian Muslims?
Its like losing the Library of Alexandria
This is such a bummer as I have personally uploaded over a TB of live-music recordings that I have made over the years. While I do obviously have my original maser files and backups, the Live Music Archive has been a staple of the tape-trading and live music enthusiast community for almost 20 years now, with multiple apps dedicated to streaming from their public database so people can re-live concerts they have been to or discover other great live music.
I hope everyone takes this as a moment to donate to the Archive, as they need help and are truly one of the better “old-school” internet sites still up and running.
I knew Putin had a weak ego, but damn. Someone did not get enough hugs as a baby.
These fucking morons, it’s universal free knowledge they just fkn destroyed. In what world does this aid in the cause of the Palestinian people. If anything you could argue it does the EXACT opposite, by getting rid of books and journals surrounding the top of Palestinians and Gaza.
