Hope these hackers receive lots of negative reactions from their peers and people around them.

Some source information about the group that has claimed responsibility: "A group known as SN_Blackmeta claimed responsibility for the attack, with a confusing antisemitic message that the archive “belongs to the USA” as if it were a government project." https://9to5mac.com/2024/10/15/internet-archive-data-breach-... "Internet Archive Cyber Attacked by Pro-Palestinian Hackers" https://www.cybersecurityintelligence.co…

Maybe they have in the web archive some webpages that were saved that they don't like?

Can I say "false flag"?

I see no reason to believe this is a false flag. If there's no evidence for it, why should we believe it to be so?

Attribution is not super easy. But here's what IA says: (tl;dr false flag)

"They’re doing it just to do it. Just because they can. No statement, no idea, no demands.” [Jason] Scott said, referencing a post made by an account named SN_Blackmeta on Telegram claiming responsibility for the attack and hinting at another one planned for Friday.

I only know what I just read on wikipedia about her, but it seems like she has been heavily doxxed — I'm guessing she requested this information about herself be excluded? If so, I'm not sure I'd classify that as censorship.

It's her own tweets, not dox.

Not dox but I was thinking there could be old materials in there that people were using to dox her. Idk, why else would they remove it?
