Sorry to say, archive.org is under a ddos attack. The data is not affected, but most services are unavailable.
We are working on it & will post updates in comments.

How does taking the website down for a few hours help those people? Especially a state actor? If it was the US government or someone like them wouldn’t they do something more permanent? Actually wipe the website?
Some news source released something that got redacted based on government pressure. Archive made a snapshot of the news source. Now the state actor goes after the Archive to prevent time sensitive information from spreading. They benefit from the information not being widely available immediately.
I doubt it. I’d sooner think it’s a corporation or state actor.

Oh…so what got released today?
How would I know? The news source retracted their statement and archive.org is down…
Up for me. It was down a few hours tops. And I remember checking it around the time you made that post as well?
Aliens or illuminati, for sure.
