You gotta be a real piece of shit to target the Internet Archive.

I wouldn't be surprised if it were paid by the companies currently battling them over copyright. Bunch of greedy bastards.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

What I wanna know is how companies get away with stuff like this.

Getting to the bottom of a cyber attack isn't... Impossible? It just takes resources.

[-] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu -3 points 5 months ago

You just pay random people on the internet to do it, it's fairly easy if you know where/what to ask for.

Just about anything is traceable. The trick is making it not worth the effort.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Ask eBay how that towing that line worked out for them.

[-] Sethayy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

See sending ip packets is quite a lot easier that sending pig fetuses

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Yes, but far more traceable!

I mean, if eBay couldt cover entrails...

I read yesterday that a study found out that 25% of webpages generated in 2013-2023 are gone forever. Attacking the internet archive maybe has darker motives such as censorship or plainly wanting to erase inconvenient history

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

1984 that what your saying. They erase the past so they can tell you it never happen.

Who controls the past now, controls the future...

Who controls the present now, controls the past...

Work has been difficult, mostly due to coworkers lately.

If I'm blaring Rage, like I have all week, I'm ready to walk or to burn the place down. But I'm a lazy man.

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Censorship is probably the most reasonable explanation

[-] MrPoopbutt@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Or monetizing content. Can't monetize what is freely available.

Which I guess that falls under censorship, just for a different reason

[-] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 41 points 5 months ago

This should be pursued the same way as if you broke into the Louvre and shat on the Venus Di Milo

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

Like targeting PSN and Xbox servers on Christmas Day.

Who benefits? This is paid for by corps using paywalls., under the table.
