We apologize for any inconvenience, and will provide updates as soon as we are able.

The Internet Archive website is now back online, and their team is currently assessing the extent of damage/compromised systems. See x.com/brewster_kahle/status/18 for more info.

Page scans are once again available on our sites, and should remain visible. There's no evidence of any compromised data or private information from mediahist.org servers and applications -- though if you have an archive.org account, you should update your passwords there.

X (formerly Twitter)Brewster Kahle (@brewster_kahle) on XWhat we know: DDOS attack–fended off for now; defacement of our website via JS library; breach of usernames/email/salted-encrypted passwords. What we’ve done: Disabled the JS library, scrubbing systems, upgrading security. Will share more as we know it.
