Archive.ph would then be susceptible to DDOS attacks.

Could someone explain what is happening here? Does Firefox have a builtin protection against DDOS specifically for Archive.ph? And why does it have it, why this specific site? Is there a protection for other sites too? I’m a bit confused here why Firefox itself would DDOS the site.

When you visit archive.ph, your computer is used to DDoS a critic of archive.ph.

Where’s the evidence of this?

So the mysterious person behind archive.today is very likely to be "Masha Rabinovich." A 2023 investigation from Jani Patokallio theorized this much https://gyrovague.com/2023/08/05/archive-today-on-the-trail-of-the-mysterious-guerrilla-archivist-of-the-internet/ However recently a few things happened over the past few days. A HN user noticed that archive.today visitors are being used in a botnet staging a DDoS attack against Jani's website, and Jani has received a bogus C&D. Who was the HN user who noticed this? Well... 🧵
