Internet Archive under sustained cyber attack in form of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on its infrastructure.

Hacktivists responsible for the attack identified themselves as SN_BlackMeta , a hacktivist operation that supports pro-Palestinian causes.

Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle said the DDoS attack had been “fended off for now” and confirmed there had been a breach of usernames, email addresses and salted and hashed passwords.
