This person could be damaging corporate infrastructure but he goes after internet archive
This guy is outing the archive for terrible security posture by bringing attention to it because they received disclosures and did not fix them.
Don't get shit twisted - he's the hero here. IA fucked up and has been vulnerable to manipulation by any number of corporate or national actors this entire time.
The hackers are mostly not okay. Fucking bootlickers.
I mean this person seems to be not doing it maliciously. As they say, if it wasn't them, it would be someone else. Pushing archive to improve their security is great for everyone. As long as this person doesn't do anything actually malicious, they're in the clear as far as I'm concerned.
This strikes me as state-funded or state adjacent hacking. Kind of like how the destruction of Twitter eliminated a source of on-the-ground, 24/7 information for the working class on all of the events our governments would prefer we not see so that their propaganda can be produced more lazily. Destroying the Internet Archive acts as another hindrance to the working class when it comes to staying informed and enriched.
I'm sorry, there is a .yachts TLD?
This message here in particular is not looking state funded if you ask me. Gaining access to zendesk tickets is a vulnerability which was published a few weeks/months ago and is not difficult at all.
I don't know about state funded, but corporations really, really hate IA for a lot of reasons.
Hackers acting as if they're doing a public service by bringing down a free publicly accessible tool is a new level of assbackwardness.
If the goal really was to force IA to increase their security, they would've tried to consult with them. This is more about notoriety and chaos and the hackers have no moral ground to stand on.
Their emotional maturity is close to zero.
They go after internet archive, such a lame move.
Yeah look at me flexing on and underfunded non profit.
Not at all hackers are criminals, but many are idiots.
was that their stated reason for attacking the internet archive?
to bring awareness to the security breaches?
little fucks.
"I stole your wallet because pockets are so vulnerable. I'm helping."
Hackers acting as if they're doing a public service by bringing down a free publicly accessible tool is a new level of assbackwardness.
are the zendesk hackers the same as the ones who brought down the website initially?
Black hat v grey hat innit
Why they don't try to ddos and hack ChatGPT instead or something?
Hey, instead of picking on that little kid, why don't you go harass that huge bodybuilder guy with all the knives attached to his belt?
Because they're corporate bootlickers, paid or otherwise.
Look at the people that participate in "Hacker News."
The FBI sleeps when libraries burn
This dumbass is probably being paid by them in the first place lol
FFS, that whole hack has left the IA a shambles.
Doesn't seem to be ill intended, not a good way to point out a problem, but the problem is there.
