What's frustrating is that the ones who claimed to have done this are self-proclaimed "hacktivists". You're stupid if you think the Internet Archive is the enemy in this day and age.
Some anonymous group claimed it was attack on USA for supporting ethnic cleansing in Palestine. This is why they did something that benefited Disney and Nintendo. Makes perfect sense!
I don’t believe „hacktivists” did it. It makes no sense because the only ones who benefited from this hack were copyright holders. The claim was anonymous so we shouldn’t put much weight into it.
