Latest update on the DDOS attack from @brewsterkahle (Oct 11 @ 10:22am PT):

"The data is safe.

Services are offline as we examine and strengthen them. Sorry, but needed. @internetarchive staff is working hard.

Estimated Timeline: days, not weeks.

Thank you for the offers of pizza (we are set)."

@internetarchive People can wait. Thank you lot for singlehandedly preserving hundreds of games and websites!! I did not realize how much I use the archive until it went offline xD
DDoSing is technically illegal, so hopefully the people behind the attack get caught cause there's no way they just attack a community-ran archival project and get away with it

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle as a severely disabled person on a very limited income your service is crucial to me. When I saw the service was down I was initially in a state of panic as your service opens up the world of vintage content to me like no order service on the net. I wish you well and hope to be using your service again when the times is right and you have done all that is required to keep that rare and important content safe.Thank you.

The Internet Archive preserves a historical record of *every website on the internet*, since nearly the beginning of the World Wide Web. Whoever is behind the DDOS clearly stands to profit from reduced transparency of information, from a less educated public. 😑
