this was awhile back in 2024, some scumbag shit brown ‘hacker’ messed up the Internet Archive while they were engaged with legal issues concerning book lending + copyright drama. still worth mentioning as I’ve noticed searches either timed out or report nginx too much traffic error messages. better make sure you update your usual credentials in case you might of been one of the 31 million whose info got leaked. the asshat who did this tried to play it off as some hero who was ‘doing them a favor’ according to this reddit post. uh, nobody not your moms, girlfriend, boyfriend, cousin, bff is going to think you’re some elite bad ass supa haxxor, but just a weird idiot. and that’s because you are.
