Internet Archive is continuing to face DDoS attacks after several days, says “this attack has been sustained, impactful, targeted, adaptive, and importantly, mean”
Internet Archive and Wayback Machine have been facing DDoS cyberattacks for the last few days. The non-profit assured that collections are safe despite the service being inconsistent since Sunday.
True. That's not something you want. Could use that downtime for extensive maintenance to roll out a more robust system (they are probably even working on that already in the background).
For the end user it doesn't really make a difference if down because of DDOS or because of maintenance I thought.
