Hacking the internet archive and fixing the problem? Good.

Hacking the internet archive and releasing information? Deservement to die.

What problem? What information?

[-] based_shrimp@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Account details like emails, logins, passwords, etc

They explained (in a now deleted response on twitter) that they targeted the Internet Archive because the US government is implicated in the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the Internet Archive belongs to the US.

A cursory search could've revealed that that's simply untrue.

Some people on twitter assume this is actually a Russian attack coinciding with the election, because apparently many journalists rely on the Internet Archive for research and sourcing.

Also they pay Elon $8 a month.

What I find odd is that the message that they actually left on the site has nothing to do with Palestine, just childish "lol btfo" sort of message. So I wouldn't be surprised if these guys aren't the ones who actually did it, and it's merely a false flag to make pro-Palestinian protesters look like idiotic assholes.

Reminds me of this asshole who vandalized openstreetmap a while back to "point out a security flaw"

By changing the names of a bunch of prominent buildings to racist terms

I can't find the community forum thread where I originally learned about it, but here's a BBC article discussing the downstream fallout for apps that use OSM data.

Memo: the publishers Wiley, Penguin Random House, Harper Collins and Hachette sued the Internet Archive for over $600m.

If you thought the people can't sink any further, then somebody who does this comes along...

Am I the only person being confused by the apparent mirroring of the last two frames? Good comic BTW, I spent way too long on X and decided that those guys are either infiltrated by mossad, or they're actually that uninforned/unintelligent

Sind wahrscheinlich Leute, die sonst Kinderkrankenhäuser lahmlegen

Ich vermute eher kommerzielle Angreifer. Warum sollen das immer nur Privatleute sein.

[-] TheOubliette@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

I was confused for a second what does 8AM have to do with a headless creature, before I figured out what it means.

[-] Grumpy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

I haven't figured out what it means.

[-] YerbaYerba@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

"BAM!" In the comic looks like "8AM!"

[-] bizarroland@fedia.io 13 points 1 month ago

One minute it's 7: 59 AM and then the next minute BAM

[-] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 2 points 1 month ago

Gave me a good chuckle

Lol, I thought it meant the attack began at 8 AM.
