A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

What kind of people target the Internet Archive? I don't have an X account so does anyone know what the hackers' mission statement is?
Their mission is committing to provide "universal access to all knowledge".
It's rather depressing that people are attacking such a site. They might have even made a bit of coin if they responsibly reported it.
I would guess that it's simply large enough to be a valuable target.
