Oh great, first, “hacktivists” initiate a DDoS attack on the impartial non-profit Internet Archive, which provides a useful service across the internet for free, supposedly because it “belongs to the USA” (source:[ their Twitter](https://twitter.com/Sn_darkmeta/status/1844104165192253945)), and now someone compromised their user database.
Seriously, what has the Internet Archive done to hurt anybody to become a target of supposed “hacktivists”?

I wouldn’t doubt if it was maybe financed on the low by some copyright entities. It is kinda of the last hold out. Wonder how much Nintendo was archived.

Mildly interesting, someone posted something about a video today, but the original article for it was removed. So for the first time in years I went to the way back machine but it kept erroring out. Then it finally sent me to an error page saying to check their twitter. There was a 20 second old tweet mentioning the DDOS attack.
