It’s incredibly sad to see threat actors attack something as altruistic as an internet library. Truly demoralizing to see such degeneracy.

A different framing is: be grateful that it's these types of people breaching IA and being vocal about it & asking IA to fix their systems. Others might just nuke them, or subtly alter content, or do whatever else bad thing you can think of.

They're providing a public service by pointing out that a massive organization controlling a lot of PII doesn't care about security at all.
