Hello everybody:

Those are not Hackers, They are Crackers and this action is not ,anyway, valorated by any internet user.

If there truly is a significant subculture of people out there fitting anything close to the media’s description of a ‘hacker’, then the recent breach of the Internet Archive presents a rather curious twist-.

The platform, beloved for its mission to preserve knowledge, is hardly the usual target for those looking to wreak havoc for profit or notoriety.

One would think that whoever orchestrated this would now find themselves a very juicy target indeed — not only from authorities, but from the very community that prides itself on the ethical standards many hackers still uphold.

It’s a delicate irony, really, when those who profess to stand for freedom of information attack one of its most stalwart defenders .

To attack such a valuable resource betrays the very ethos many in the hacking world still hold dear — a betrayal that deserves nothing less than the community’s full contempt.

Such a reckless, selfish act betrays the very spirit of what the internet stands for, and those responsible deserve nothing but scorn and contempt from all corners of the web.

F"#K them ALL !!

From ABC (Australia):

A hacker group called "SN_BLACKMETA" claimed responsibility, saying it had targeted the archive "because [it] belongs to the USA" and linked the attack to the US government's alliance and support of Israel.
The Internet Archive is not owned by the US government and has no ties to Israel.
