The FBI sleeps when libraries burn

      This guy is outing the archive for terrible security posture by bringing attention to it because they received disclosures and did not fix them.

      Don't get shit twisted - he's the hero here. IA fucked up and has been vulnerable to manipulation by any number of corporate or national actors this entire time.

        If this was genuinely done out of love I could understand but due to the legal battles the internet archive is currently being dragged through, I harbor suspicion of their intent.

          There's never certainty when talking about hackers...

          That's verbatim the content of the email and the email hack does not appear to be malicious (unlike the ddos or the password breach)

          It's more likely that this is 3 different groups than it is a single group.

      The hackers are mostly not okay. Fucking bootlickers.

    This strikes me as state-funded or state adjacent hacking. Kind of like how the destruction of Twitter eliminated a source of on-the-ground, 24/7 information for the working class on all of the events our governments would prefer we not see so that their propaganda can be produced more lazily. Destroying the Internet Archive acts as another hindrance to the working class when it comes to staying informed and enriched.

      Because they're corporate bootlickers, paid or otherwise.

      Look at the people that participate in "Hacker News." corporate-art bootlicker
