> update 10/10/24: internet archive founder brewster kahle shared an update on x last night, confirming the data breach and stating that the threat actor used a javascript library to show the alerts to visitors. "what we know: ddos attacked-fended off for now; defacement of our website via js library; breach of usernames/email/salted-encrypted passwords," reads a first status update tweeted last night. "what we've done: disabled the js library, scrubbing systems, upgrading security." a second update shared this morning states that ddos attacks have resumed, taking archive.org and openlibrary.org offline again. while the internet archive is facing both a data breach and ddos attacks at the same, it is not believed that the two attacks are connected.   ws/security/internet-archive-hacked -data-breach-impacts-31-million-use rs/
