Internet Archive is now back online in a provisional read-only manner

internet-archive-loses-court-appeal-publishers-feature-e1725565795208.jpg

After almost 2 full weeks since the Internet Archive suffered a security breach that caused the data of more than 31 million users to be leaked online, the Internet Archive has reopened today just a few minutes ago.

Previously archived files, data, audio, videos, movies, etc. that were added to the Archive are now back online and can be accessed once again, although it seems that currently all logins are locked with the message "We're sorry. Login is not allowed at this time." appearing upon trying to enter the email and password to enter with an account, meaning that new uploads are currently not possible until further notice.

As of the moment of writing there hasn't been any official announcements about the site being back online in the Internet Archive's X profile nor in the Archive's own blog, so new information about the restored accessibility to archived data, what the limitations are for this new change and when users might be able to log back in is unknown at the moment.

UPDATE:
It has been confirmed that the Internet Archive is now restored in a provisional read-only manner. Logins are currently not available until further notice:

Unless they still haven't purged the hacker from their systems entirely. If they didn't, it likely won't be long before they have to go down again.
It makes sense if the Internet Archive had been "running on sticks" for over a decade, not without updating their security tightly to ensure that it doesn't happen.

who can stop teh hackerman??!?

Not much they can do quite frankly.

Now that it seems to be working normally, hopefully no more fools will target the internet archive for political reasons. After all, the internet archive is the world's library and the archive center for sites that have disappeared on the internet and it is very useful to dig up information from it.

Indeed. I managed to pull all the 3DFX PC warez off of archive.org without having to sift through the www to find some of it. great site, great archive of filez. :)
