Will the Internet Archive be saved?

Apparently they had some sort of data breach and DDoS attack where 31 million accounts were hit and user info was compromised, and now the site is shut down for some time. Unbelievable.

It's a shame the Internet Archive have to shut down forever. A collection of materials forgotten with the passage of time will be lost.

I have tried to enter this morning.

@SingleBHM their socials say they're working on getting it back up with improved security, and that they expect to finish in a matter of days, not weeks. There's no talk about shutting down forever from the team behind it.

@SingleBHM The site will be down for a good while, but they are working on it so it's not completely done for good 👍🏾.

@SubstantialKick I hope so!

I didn't even know the internet archived had accounts. I thought it just scraped pages automatically.

I must have gotten at least 5,000 free domain Ebooks and papers from them over the years, that is truly sad to read :( Who would do such a thing?
