Internet Archive Endures Prolonged DDoS Attack

The non-profit's services face significant disruption as it battles sustained cyber-attacks, though data remains secure.

The Internet Archive has been under a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack for several days.
Access to the Archive's collections, including the Wayback Machine, has been inconsistent.
The attacks involve tens of thousands of fake information requests per second, aiming to disrupt service.
The organization is actively working to strengthen its defenses against these targeted attacks.
Other libraries and knowledge bases have also faced similar cyber threats recently.
