Internet Archive Restores Limited Access After Cyberattacks

The digital library is operating in read-only mode following a data breach and DDoS attacks that compromised millions of user records.

The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine is back online but only in a provisional, read-only state, preventing new pages from being saved.
The organization faced a series of cyberattacks, including a data breach that exposed 31 million user records and a DDoS attack that took the site offline.
A hacker group, claiming to be anti-U.S. and anti-Israeli, has taken responsibility for the attacks, although their true motives remain unclear.
Security measures have been upgraded to prevent future breaches, but the site may experience further downtime for maintenance.
The breach and subsequent attacks coincided with the Internet Archive's legal issues over copyright infringements, though no direct link has been confirmed.
